DESCRIPTION:Prof. Stefan Koelsch\, University of Bergen\nMusic is a univer
 sal feature of human societies\, partly owing to its power to evoke strong
  emotions and influence moods. During the past decade\, the investigation 
 of the neural correlates of music-evoked emotions has been invaluable for 
 the understanding of human emotion.\nFunctional neuroimaging studies on mu
 sic and emotion show that music can modulate activity in brain structures 
 that are known to be crucially involved in emotion. The potential of music
  to modulate activity in these structures has important implications for t
 he use of music in the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders
 . The talk will also deal with the psychological mechanisms underlying the
  evocation of emotions with music\, such as appraisals\, emotional resonan
 ce\, musical expectancy\, and the social functions of music.\n
