This is Your Brain on Music

This is Your Brain on Music written by neuroscientist Daniel Levitin sounds like it would be interesting reading based on this review on Salon

If you don't have time to read it you could listen to some short samples of the music discussed in the book...or you could listen to this YouTube of Herbert von Karajan directing Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor and see if that has any effect on your brain - some people think this song in particular helps with concentration and creativity.
