“Immunology of music”? A short introduction to cognitive science of musical improvisation 

Journal Title: AVANT. Pismo awangardy filozoficzno-naukowej - Year 2012, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

Studies on music in the area of cognitive sciences – quite varied despite their short history – meet with scepticism. The author of this introduction, presenting some spectacular examples of research on musical improvisation, tries to demonstrate that they enrich rather than reduce our understanding of this phenomenon.
