Locality in music and syntax: a minimalist analysis of modulation
Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali, 2020 The article provides an analysis of tonicization and modulation in western tonal music within the framework of minimalist syntax. In the spirit of Katz and Pesetsky’s 2011 Identity Thesis for Language and Music, I argue that syntactic notions such as ...

Temporal modulations in speech and music [PDF]
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017 Speech and music have structured rhythms. Here we discuss a major acoustic correlate of spoken and musical rhythms, the slow (0.25-32Hz) temporal modulations in sound intensity and compare the modulation properties of speech and music. We analyze these modulations using over 25h of speech and over 39h of recordings of Western music.

Cortical entrainment to music and its modulation by expertise [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance We demonstrate that cortical oscillatory activity in both low (<8 Hz) and high (15–30 Hz) frequencies is tightly coupled to behavioral performance in musical listening, in a bidirectional manner. In light of previous work on speech, we propose a framework in which the brain exploits the temporal regularities in music to ...

Rapid modulation in music supports attention in listeners with attentional difficulties
Communications BiologyBackground music is widely used to sustain attention, but little is known about what musical properties aid attention. This may be due to inter-individual variability in neural responses to music.

EPIGENETIC BASES OF MUSIC MODULATION
Medical journal "Bioenergetics in medicine and biology", 2018 The subject matter of research are the special features of the emotional reactions of patients to application of music modulation. Purpose of the work is to compare results of the action of the different types of musical modulation on the psychophysiological state of patients.

Hemispheric asymmetries for music and speech: Spectrotemporal modulations and top-down influences [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Hemispheric asymmetries in auditory cognition have been recognized for a long time, but their neural basis is still debated. Here I focus on specialization for processing of speech and music, the two most important auditory communication systems that ...

The human auditory system uses amplitude modulation to distinguish music from speech.
PLoS BiologyMusic and speech are complex and distinct auditory signals that are both foundational to the human experience. The mechanisms underpinning each domain are widely investigated. However, what perceptual mechanism transforms a sound into music or speech and
