La musica e il linguaggio sono due elementi fondamentali dell’esperienza umana, ma quanto hanno davvero in comune?
In questa puntata esploriamo il rapporto tra percezione linguistica e musicale, concentrandoci sugli aspetti fonetici e sulle strutture cognitive che li governano. Attraverso esperimenti e studi neuroscientifici, vediamo insieme come il cervello umano processa il suono, distinguendo (o confondendo) la musica dal linguaggio.
