Predictions and the brain: how musical sounds become rewarding
Music has always played a central role in human culture. The question of how musical
sounds can have such profound emotional and rewarding effects has been a topic of interest …

[HTML][HTML] A neural population selective for song in human auditory cortex
How is music represented in the brain? While neuroimaging has revealed some spatial
segregation between responses to music versus other sounds, little is known about the …

Cortical pitch regions in humans respond primarily to resolved harmonics and are located in specific tonotopic regions of anterior auditory cortex
S Norman-Haignere, N Kanwisher… - Journal of …, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
Pitch is a defining perceptual property of many real-world sounds, including music and
speech. Classically, theories of pitch perception have differentiated between temporal and …

Representations of pitch and timbre variation in human auditory cortex
Pitch and timbre are two primary dimensions of auditory perception, but how they are
represented in the human brain remains a matter of contention. Some animal studies of …

Spatial representations of temporal and spectral sound cues in human auditory cortex
Natural and behaviorally relevant sounds are characterized by temporal modulations of their
waveforms, which carry important cues for sound segmentation and communication. Still …

[HTML][HTML] Early cortical processing of pitch height and the role of adaptation and musicality
M Andermann, M Günther, RD Patterson, A Rupp - Neuroimage, 2021 - Elsevier
Pitch is an important perceptual feature; however, it is poorly understood how its cortical
correlates are shaped by absolute vs relative fundamental frequency (f 0), and by neural …

Functional connectivity in human auditory networks and the origins of variation in the transmission of musical systems
Music producers, whether original composers or performers, vary in their ability to acquire
and faithfully transmit music. This form of variation may serve as a mechanism for the …
