Science Magazine looks at the International Laboratory for Brain, Music, and Sound Research (BRAMS), a joint project of UU直播 and Universit茅 de Montr茅al. The members of BRAMS, including UU直播's Robert Zatorre, Universit茅 de Montr茅al's Isabelle Peretz and nine other Montreal-based lead investigators, aim to explore music's mysteries. They seek to understand how humans cooperate to perform together, how children and adults learn to play music, and the relationship between music and language. "BRAMS will allow us to use music as a portal into the most complex aspects of human brain function," says Dr. Zatorre.
