Locality in music and syntax: a minimalist analysis of modulation
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 ...

Cortical entrainment to music and its modulation by expertise [PDF]
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 ...

Top–Down Modulation on the Perception and Categorization of Identical Pitch Contours in Speech and Music [PDF]
Whether pitch in language and music is governed by domain-specific or domain-general cognitive mechanisms is contentiously debated. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether mechanisms governing pitch contour perception operate differently ...

Electroencephalography Amplitude Modulation Analysis for Automated Affective Tagging of Music Video Clips [PDF]
The quantity of music content is rapidly increasing and automated affective tagging of music video clips can enable the development of intelligent retrieval, music recommendation, automatic playlist generators, and music browsing interfaces tuned to the ...

The strength of neural entrainment to electronic music correlates with proxies of altered states of consciousness [PDF]
In electronic music events, the driving four-on-the-floor music appears pivotal for inducing altered states of consciousness (ASCs). While various physiological mechanisms link repetitive auditory stimuli to ASCs, entrainment—a brainwave synchronization ...

Rhythms of relief: perspectives on neurocognitive mechanisms of music interventions in ADHD [PDF]
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by multiple neurocognitive deficits. Research suggests that music interventions, both active and passive, may be an effective complementary method of

Comparing the information conveyed by envelope modulation for speech intelligibility, speech quality, and music quality. [PDF]
This paper uses mutual information to quantify the relationship between envelope modulation fidelity and perceptual responses. Data from several previous experiments that measured speech intelligibility, speech quality, and music quality are evaluated ...

EEG microstates dynamics of happiness and sadness during music listening [PDF]
The human brain naturally responds to music, with happy music enhancing attention and sad music aiding emotion regulation. However, the specific electroencephalogram (EEG) microstates linked to these cognitive and emotional effects remain unclear.
