Neuroscience of Music

Jonah Lehrer is one of my favorite authors on the topic (mostly because I'm not actually smart enough to be a full-blown neuroscience nerd and he writes for us common folks) if you have some time read or listen to How We Decide it is very interesting and Lehrer uses realworld vignettes to illustrate his points.
