iPost: The Neurocognition of Dance




Psychology Press

The Neurocognition of Dance

Mind, Movement and Motor Skills

Edited by Bettina Bläsing, Martin Puttke, and Thomas Schack.

Dance has always been an important aspect of all human cultures, and the study of human movement and action has become a topic of increasing relevance over the last decade, bringing dance into the focus of the cognitive sciences.

This book discusses the wide range of interrelations between body postures and body movements as conceptualised in dance with perception, mental processing and action planning.

The volume brings together cognitive scientists, psychologists, neuroscientists, choreographers, and ballet teachers, to discuss important issues regarding dance and cognition.
