Music has played a critical role in human evolution and development. In recent years, rapidly advancing generative AI has demonstrated its potential in creating artistic expressions, including music. Given this context, it is crucial for us to reexamine the fundamental relationship between "humans and music." This event aims to explore how humans have acquired and generated music from the perspective of "the brain and the body."
