Why Is Stefan Koelsch Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Stefan Koelsch is a German-American-Norwegian psychologist, neuroscientist, and bestselling author. Biography Stefan Koelsch studied instrumental and vocal music at the University of Arts Bremen, and then psychology as well as sociology at Leipzig University. He graduated in 1994 with an artistic degree, 1998 with a diploma in psychology, and 2000 with a diploma in sociology. With his thesis Brain and Music: A contribution to the investigation of central auditory processing with a new electrophysiological approach, which was compiled at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, he was awarded with a PhD at Leipzig University. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School , he founded the independent junior research group Neurocognition of Music at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig in 2003. In 2004, Stefan Koelsch was awarded the habilitation in psychology at Leipzig University.
