Summary

Abstract

Music production and perception and human social understanding are linked in many ways. Producing and enjoying music appears unique to humans, and debate surrounds the topic of music’s function, especially in relation to its evolutionary origins. Here, we discuss links between music and sociality, and how insights from the unique fields of music neuroscience and social neuroscience can be combined to understand this relationship.
