The sensation of groove has been defined as the pleasurable desire to move music, suggesting that both motor timing and reward processes are involved in this experience. Although many studies have investigated rhythmic musical separately, none examined whether associated cortical subcortical networks engaged while participants listen groove-based music. In current study, musicians non-musicians listened rated experimentally controlled stimuli undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging....
The pleasurable desire to move music, also known as groove, is modulated by rhythmic complexity. How the sensation of groove influenced other musical features, such harmonic complexity individual chords, less clear. To address this, we asked people with a range experience rate stimuli that varied in both and Rhythm showed an inverted U-shaped relationship ratings pleasure wanting move, whereas medium low chords were rated similarly. Pleasure mediated effect harmony on high attenuated rhythm...
Various studies have shown that musical training can improve rhythmic perception and production. These findings tell us music result in rhythm processing advantages but they do not whether practicing a particular instrument could lead to specific effects on or The current study used battery of four production tasks were designed test both higher- lower-level aspects processing. Four groups musicians (drummers, singers, pianists, string players) control group non-musicians tested. Within-task...
Groove-defined as the pleasurable urge to move a rhythm-depends on fine-tuned interplay between predictability arising from repetitive rhythmic patterns, and surprise deviations, for example in form of syncopation. The perfect balance is commonly found patterns with moderate level complexity represents sweet spot groove experience. In contrast, rhythms low or high are usually associated weaker experience because they too boring be engaging complex interpreted, respectively. Consequently,...
The sensation of groove can be defined as the pleasurable urge to move rhythmic music. When moving beat a rhythm, both how well movements are synchronized beat, and perceived difficulty in doing so, associated with groove. Interestingly, when tapping participants tend overestimate their synchrony, suggesting potential discrepancy between measured which may impact relative relation However, these relations, influence syncopation musicianship on have yet tested. Therefore, we asked listen 50...
Interacting with music is a uniquely pleasurable activity that ubiquitous across human cultures. Current theories suggest prominent driver of musical pleasure responses the violation and confirmation temporal predictions. For example, urge to move (PLUMM), which associated broader concept groove, higher for moderately complex rhythms compared simple rhythms. This inverted U-shaped relation between PLUMM rhythmic complexity thought result from balance predictability uncertainty. That is, lead...
In cognitive science, the sensation of “groove” has been defined as pleasurable urge to move music. When listeners rate rhythmic stimuli on derived pleasure and move, ratings these dimensions are highly correlated. However, recent behavioural brain imaging work shown that two components may be separable. To examine this potential separability, our study investigates groove in people with specific musical anhedonia. Individuals anhedonia have a blunted ability derive from music but can still...
Abstract The pleasurable urge to move music (PLUMM) activates motor and reward areas of the brain is thought be driven by predictive processes. Dopamine in limbic networks implicated beat‐based timing music‐induced pleasure, suggesting a central role basal ganglia (BG) dopaminergic systems PLUMM. This study tested this hypothesis comparing PLUMM participants with Parkinson's disease (PD), age‐matched controls, young controls. Participants listened musical sequences varying rhythmic harmonic...
The inverted U hypothesis in music predicts that listeners prefer intermediate levels of complexity. However, the shape liking response to harmonic complexity and effect musicianship remains unclear. Here, we tested whether relationship between single chords shows an this is different for musicians non-musicians. We recorded these groups' ratings four complexity, indexed by their level acoustic roughness, as well several measures inter-individual difference. Results showed there U-shaped...
Abstract The pleasurable urge to move music (PLUMM) elicits activity in motor and reward areas of the brain is thought be driven by predictive processes. Dopamine within limbic cortico-striatal networks implicated processes underlying beat-based timing music-induced pleasure, respectively. This suggests a central role dopamine PLUMM. study tested this hypothesis comparing PLUMM Parkinson’s disease patients, healthy age-matched, young controls. Participants listened musical sequences with...

Abstract Attention modulates sensory gain to select and optimize the processing of behaviorally relevant events. It has been hypothesized that attention can operate in either a rhythmic or continuous mode, depending on nature stimulation. Despite this conceptual framework, direct behavioral evidence scarce. Our study explores when operates mode through series nine interrelated experiments with varying stream lengths, stimulus types, attended features, tasks. The optimally at approximately...
