Dancing, which is integrally related to music, likely has its origins close the birth of Homo sapiens, and throughout our history, dancing been universally practiced in all societies. We hypothesized that there are differences among individuals aptitude, propensity, need for may partially be based on common genetic polymorphisms. Identifying such lead an understanding neurobiological basis one mankind's most universal appealing behavioral traits—dancing. In current study, 85 performing...
How can music—merely a stream of sounds—be enjoyable for so many people? Recent accounts this phenomenon are inspired by predictive coding models, hypothesizing that both confirmation and violations musical expectations associate with the hedonic response to music via recruitment mesolimbic system its connections auditory cortex. Here we provide support model, revealing associations music-induced pleasantness surprises in activity connectivity patterns nucleus accumbens (NAcc)—a central...
Music can reduce stress and anxiety, enhance positive mood, facilitate social bonding. However, little is known about the role of music related personal or cultural (individualistic vs. collectivistic) variables in maintaining wellbeing during times isolation as imposed by COVID-19 crisis. In an online questionnaire, administered 11 countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, UK, USA, N = 5,619), participants rated relevance goals pandemic,...
The strict lockdown experienced in Spain during March-June 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 crisis has led to strong negative emotions. Music can contribute enhancing wellbeing, but extent this effect may be modulated by both personal and context-related variables. This study aimed analyze impact two types variables on perceived efficacy musical behaviors fulfill adults' emotional wellbeing-related goals established Spain. Personal included age, gender, training, personality,...
Recent neuroimaging studies have provided evidence for localized perceptual specificity in the processing of human voice stimuli, paralleling faces. This study attempted to delineate features voices yielding selective processing, and characterize its time-course. Electrophysiological recordings revealed a positive potential peaking at 320 ms post-stimulus onset, response sung tones compared with fundamental-frequency-matched instrumental tones, when both categories were distracters an...
Abstract In an earlier study, we found that human voices evoked a positive event‐related potential (ERP) peaking at ∼320 ms after stimulus onset, distinctive from those elicited by instrumental tones. Here show though similar in latency to the Novelty P3, this Voice‐Sensitive Response (VSR) differs antecedent conditions and scalp distribution. Furthermore, when participants were not attending stimuli, response was undistinguished other harmonic stimuli (strings, winds, brass). During task...
Though the Perception of Musical Tension has recently received considerable attention, effect interactions among auditory parameters on perceived tension hardly been examined systematically. In this study, 132 participants (60 with music training) listened to short melodic sequences that combined manipulations pitch direction, register, loudness change, and tempo rated in each sequence overall level, as well direction change (increasing or decreasing). For ratings, repeated measures ANOVAs...
Even within equitonal isochronous sequences, listeners report perceiving differences among the tones, reflecting some grouping and accenting of sound events. In a previous study, we explored this phenomenon �subjective rhythmization� physiologically through brain event-related potentials (ERPs). We found in ERP responses to small intensity deviations introduced different positions even though all events were physically identical. These seemed follow binary pattern, with larger amplitudes...
We examine how individuals who are congenitally or early blind (CEB), as compared with sighted individuals, associate musical parameters nonauditory domains. Exp1 (modeled after Eitan & Granot, 2006) investigated participants pitch direction, loudness change and tempo motion features. In Exp2 Timmers, 2010), rated appropriateness of 10 antonyms metaphors for two segments contrasting in height. Most CEB's mappings auditory did not differ from those the sighted. Notably, this included even...
Music theorists often presume that the sections of a musical masterwork match organically, enhancing unity and value. This "inner form" should be distinguished from coherence associated with inter-opus constraints, such as conventional forms. Studies indicate violating constraints hardly affects listeners' aesthetic judgments. Here we examine how inner form Musically trained untrained listeners heard intact opening movements Mozart's piano sonatas, K. 280 332, well hybrids mixing these two...
Previous studies have suggested that listeners are not sensitive to the overall tonal structure of musical pieces. This assumption is reexamined in current study an active puzzle task, with no time constraints, focusing on presumably most directional form – sonata form. In our first (reported here, and referred as “the Mozart study”), participants varying levels training were presented disordered sections Mozart’s piano K. 570/I B flat major asked rearrange ten into a musically logical...
Abstract Musicians' perceptual advantage in the acoustic domain is well established. Recent studies show that musicians' verbal working memory also superior. Additionally, some report visuospatial skills are enhanced although others failed to find this enhancement. We now examined whether spatial vision superior, and if so, superiority reflects refined visual or a general of memory. frequency discrimination among musicians nonmusician university students using two presentation conditions:...
Previous studies have suggested that listeners are insensitive to the overall tonal structure of musical pieces. In Part I this report ( Granot & Jacoby, 2011 ) we reexamined question by means a puzzle task using 10 segments Mozart’s B flat major piano sonata K. 570/I. As expected, subjects had difficulty in recreating original piece. However, their answers revealed some interesting patterns, including (1) Some sensitivity A–B–A’ around non-stable section; (2) Non-trivial...
In this study, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) are used to measure subjects' responses violations of musical expectancies elicited in seventone sequences. We manipulated the structure sequence (strongly vs. weakly constraining), congruity terminal tone (congruent incongruent), form presentation (both types intermixed blocked), and training. The degree expectancy violation was measured by P300 component ERP known be sensitive subject's expectations. As predicted, musically trained...

One of the most studied effects verbal working memory (WM) is influence length words that compose list to be remembered. This work aims investigate nature musical WM by replicating word effect in domain. Length and rate presentation were manipulated a recognition task tone sequences. Results showed significant for both factors (length rate) as well their interaction, suggesting existence different strategies (e.g., chunking rehearsal) immediate information, depending upon
