Biography
Mark Reybrouck studied physical education, physical therapy and musicology.
He is actually emeritus professor at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and
guest professor at Ghent University (Belgium).
His interests are interdisciplinary
with an attempt to bring together insights from the fields of psychology,
biology, semiotics and music. His actual research agenda concerns musical
sense-making with a major focus on musical semantics and biosemiotics as
applied to music and music and brain studies. At a theoretical level he is
involved in foundational work on music cognition and perception, especially the
biological roots of musical epistemology and the embodied and enactive
approach to dealing with music. Besides this theoretical work, he has been
involved in empirical research on representational and metarepresentational
strategies in music-listening tasks.
He published a considerable amount of
papers in internationally reviewed scientific journals and book chapters. He is
also author and editor of several books about listening strategies and cognitive
strategies for dealing with music as well as edited volumes on musical semiotics
and music and brain studies. His most recent contributions cover the field of
embodied and enactive cognition and the domains of neuroaesthetics and
neuroplasticity as applied to different forms of musical engagement.
