The Journal of Biomusical Engineering (JBE) publishes research papers, proposed paradigms, experimental investigation, case studies, historical scientific music discussions, commentaries, and selected review articles that address the role and application of engineering and science knowledge to the role of music in human function. The purpose of this unique journal is to question and answer certain subject areas that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Music and Physiologic Function:
  Impact of music on physiologic control systems output, e.g.,
• disturbances to these outputs,
• monitoring of outputs,
• generation of “error signals”,
• controlling systems,
• homeostatic control processes,
• system transfer functions,
• adaptation mechanisms,
• defining particular music signals impacting physiologic controls
• (e.g. rhythm, timbre, overtones and pitch, etc.).
• Music and Neuroscience:
  Impact of music on brain function, e.g.,
• sensory systems,
• language and cognitive function,
• music processing results on physiologic function.
• Music, Biomusic, Technology:
  The body and music, e.g.,
• cellular and molecular sound,
• music in biofeedback,
• the body as instrument.
• Music in Translational Medicine, Clinical Treatment:
  Translation of science, technology, engineering into:
• music treatment modalities,e.g.,
• music elements and physiologic adaptation research,
• scientific methodologies to music application in treatment,
• clinical case studies of music and engineering principles,
• elements of music in specific treatment protocol,
• medical discoveries in music and physiologic functionality.
• Commentary and Discussion of Papers Previously Published in Journal:
• Additional information to published papers
• Discussion
• Book Reviews:
Summary: submitted papers will be peer-reviewed for rigorous scientific relevance to the subject of music’s role in human adaptation and medicine, with specific reference to principles of engineering, neuroscience, disease, and psycho-physiologic functions.
