Isabelle Peretz

Isabelle Peretz is a renowned cognitive neuroscientist known for her research on music and the brain. Her work explores how humans perceive, produce, and understand music, examining how musical abilities relate to other cognitive functions. She has contributed significantly to understanding how musical skills are processed in the brain, including how some people can "sing in tune" or improvise music naturally. Her studies often involve brain imaging and experiments with individuals who have unique musical talents or impairments, shedding light on the neural mechanisms underlying musical perception and production.
