Explore the cognitive foundations of musical creativity with The Improvising Mind by Oxford University Press. This work examines the high level of achievement required to spontaneously invent stylistically idiomatic compositions on the spot.

By investigating how this knowledge is used during live performance and identifying the neural correlates of improvised music, this book provides a deep look into one of the pinnacles of human creativity.
