Towards a Neuropsychological Semiotics of Music [Book Review]

Constructivist Foundations 12 (3):352-355 (2017)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

An alternative semiotics of music grounded in a neuropsychological framework is outlined. The purposes and effects of music listening are to modulate internal psychological states rather than to support externalized actions. Von Foerster’s eigenbehaviors are discussed in the context of self-constructing purposive percept-coordination-action systems and Piaget’s theory of equilibration.
