A very good book for researchers interested to know the common patterns among cognitive science/AI and the studies in music and music cognition is this of Peter Desain (Donders Centre for Cognition) and Henkjan Honig with title: Music, Mind and Machine.
The book “The Colors of the Sunrise” includes a project that the reader may follow using the music of their choice after getting acquainted with the clinical music therapy practice through academic methodology and clinical guidance.
“An advanced method is attainable for the readers,
leaving their mind and body absolutely free of thoughts
and inner conflicts, following the unity of music, text,
and digitally processed image, paying attention to their
senses as well as to the feelings associated with them.
With this mode, the readers have the opportunity to
enjoy the sensation and atmosphere that the book
inspires, becoming aware at the end of their reading of
the changes in their body, mind, and “whole”
personality.
Music can be utilized here; readers can
delve into its symbolism, keeping their attention on the
tone that music gives to the text, reliving emotions that
are impossible to approach through the text or images.
