    How Music Plays the Mind

    What is it about the music you love that makes you want to hear it again? Why do we crave a "hook" that returns, again and again, within the same piece?

    The Crossing Paths of the Arts and Mathematics

    by Felipe Cucker ...

    Why does a piano sound like a piano? A similar question can be asked of virtually all musical instruments.
