The Off‐Tonic Recapitulation in Context: a Study in Fuzziness

open access: yesMusic Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The double return of the principal theme and home key has long held pride of place in theories of sonata form. For James Webster (2001) it is the paramount feature of sonata form; similarly, for James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy (2006) it is the feature that lies at the heart of their sonata‐theory typology, distinguishing between their types 1,

Perturbing whole‐brain models of brain hierarchy: An application for depression following pharmacological treatment

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
We apply whole‐brain models of brain hierarchy based on a thermodynamics of mind framework to investigate state transitions in depression. Dynamic sensitivity analysis explores how psilocybin and escitalopram affect susceptibility and drivability to healthier states.

Quality of life in older adults is enhanced by piano practice: Results from a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
In this randomized controlled trial, 156 older participants were assigned to either piano practice or music listening groups for 12 months. Quality of life was assessed at 0, 6, 12, 18, and ∼48 months. We showed that practicing piano positively impacted psychological, physical, and environmental quality of life, which was associated with bilateral ...

The neurobiology of altered states of consciousness induced by drumming and other rhythmic sound patterns

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Rhythmic auditory stimulation has been used across cultures to alter consciousness, yet its neural basis remains unclear. Our review suggests that rhythmic sounds induce absorption and relaxation. We propose that thalamo‐cortical entrainment to low‐frequency rhythms underlie these effects, paralleling mechanisms in psychedelic and psychotic states.

The role of musical pitch in long‐distance defensive signaling

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
The function of pitch matching between hominins as a means of long‐distance deterrence of conspecifics is proposed. The evolution of different abilities related to pitch production and recognition is discussed. In particular, the emergence and role of culturally variable musical pitch elements as hallmarks of group identity are examined, in the context

A framework for modeling performers' beat-to-beat heart intervals using music features and Interpretation Maps

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
ObjectiveMusic strongly modulates our autonomic nervous system. This modulation is evident in musicians' beat-to-beat heart (RR) intervals, a marker of heart rate variability (HRV), and can be related to music features and structures.

Who Feels Looked Down Upon? Sources of “Symbolic Violence” in the United States

open access: yesSociological Inquiry, EarlyView.
This paper explores the factors increasing the chances of thinking one's cultural tastes and interests would be looked down upon by others, a sentiment put under the label of “symbolic violence” by Pierre Bourdieu. Using data from a survey fielded in the US in 2017–18 (n = 2,514), it examines the role of social position, lifestyle, family status and ...

Information in the Brain: From Metaphor to Truth

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite explicit warnings from Shannon to tread carefully when applying Information Theory to fields for which it was not designed, contemporary neuroscientists adopting the framework of Information Theory have fallen right into the traps Shannon and others cautioned against. What makes the neuroscientist more than anyone prone to fall prey to
