Music perception involves acoustic analysis, auditory memory, auditory scene analysis,
processing of interval relations, of musical syntax and semantics, and activation of (pre) …

Introduction Studies of categorical decision-making attempt to understand behavior by
probing how different features of complex and changing environments guide the selection of …

Recent developments in the cognitive neuroscience of music suggest that a further review of
the topic of amusia is timely. In this chapter, we first consider previous taxonomies of amusia …

Music perception involves complex brain functions. The relationship between music and
brain such as cortical entrainment to periodic tune, periodic beat, and music have been well …

To understand how musical experience influences subcortical processing of emotionally
salient sounds, we recorded brain stem potentials to affective vocal sounds. Our results …

Several studies of semantic memory in non-musical domains involving recognition of items
from long-term memory have shown an age-related shift from the medial temporal lobe …

We investigated how familiarity alters music and language processing in the brain. We used
fMRI to measure brain responses before and after participants were familiarized with novel …

To investigate the brain's response to music, many researchers have examined cortical
entrainment in relation to periodic tunes, periodic beats, and music. Music familiarity is …

The functional neuroanatomical mechanisms underpinning cognition in the normal older
brain remain poorly defined, but have important implications for understanding the …

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a pain management therapy for patients suffering from
specific types of chronic pain conditions that are refractory to conventional medical …
