Editorial: Cognition and Music Performance

As none of the above-mentioned perspectives work in isolation, the current Research Topic presents a broad approach to music research by encouraging additional novel and diverse contributions. This Research Topic also contributes to increase evidence in cross-cultural contexts. Yaghmour et al. report relevant neuropsychological cues to understand improvisation in Middle Eastern music, and Casas-Mas et al. provide a qualitative-descriptive approach to Flamenco music through the analysis of embodied learning. The diffusion MRI study of Mehrabinejad et al. reports gender differences in white matter tracts regarding musical engagement whereas the bibliographical review about the contributions of music therapy of Li et al. contributes to the consideration of music to improve the quality of life of people. For his part, Godøy reviews how the crucial role of the soundmotion objects can enhance our understanding of generative processes in music.
