Silence, the brain and music: a biologist, an anthropologist, an investigation

The Intermuse project aims to identify the individual singularities of musicians when they identify a note. While the biological scientific approach seeks a neutrality of the experimental context, the silences placed between the notes constitute, each one, a support for the musician, thus interfering with the cognitive task requested. An anthropological study carried out in parallel to the experiment allows to contextualize it by integrating the musician as a full-fledged individual.
