Music, Science and Technology

Directed by Massimiliano Sala
This series investigates the relationships between music, science and technology; specifically, it aims to publish the most up-to-date research in the field of music and science in the widest possible sense, from the relationships with neuroscience to the clinical-therapeutic implications of music therapy and educational aspects in music pedagogy.
Emphasis is given to the deepening of acoustic physics, sound engineering and the relationship between mathematics and music in music theory and the compositional process.
