Drawing on these insights, they show how dynamic processes of adaptive body-brain-environment interactivity drive musical cognition across a range of contexts, extending it beyond the personal (inner) domain of musical agents and out into the material and social worlds they inhabit and influence. An enactive approach to musicality, they argue, can reveal important aspects of human being and knowing that are often lost or obscured in the modern technologically driven world.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374396440831,"sku":"9780262045223","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780262045223_s600x595.jpg?v=1782315307","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780262045223","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
