The Neurosciences and Music IV: Learning and Memory was held at the University of Edinburgh from 9-12 June 2011, jointly hosted by the Mariani Foundation and the Institute for Music in Human and Social Development (IMHSD) and involving nearly 500 international delegates. Two opening workshops, three large and vibrant poster sessions and nine specialized symposia presented the most current research findings and raised a multitude of challenging questions. The conference proceedings are introduced by the workshop and symposia leaders, on the topics of working with children, rhythm perception, language processing, cultural learning, memory, musical imagery, neural plasticity, stroke rehabilitation, autism and amusia. The rich, interdisciplinary nature of this expanding research area is immediately evident, showing great promise for the future of music neuroscience.
