Chapter Chapter 3 in The Future of Music, 2020, pp 17-21 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we will focus on the basic functions of music and divide its focus into two distinguished approaches, theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical approach we will deduce the basic function of music based on theoretical frameworks based on evolutionary and non-evolutionary approaches. Within the empirical functions we will discuss the role of music in daily life, as well as discover potential fundamental dimensions implied by the multiple functions of music. Then we discuss how music acts on the human brain like a drug through the hippocampal gate function.
