Human emotion and its electrophysiological correlates are still poorly understood. The present study examined whether the valence of perceived emotions would differentially influence EEG power spectra heart rate (HR). Pleasant unpleasant were induced by consonant dissonant music. Unpleasant (compared to pleasant) music evoked a significant decrease HR, replicating pattern HR responses previously described for processing emotional pictures, sounds, films. In EEG, pleasant (contrasted...
Abstract This study investigates the functional architecture of working memory (WM) for verbal and tonal information during rehearsal articulatory suppression. Participants were presented with strings four sung syllables task to remember either pitches (tonal information) or (verbal information). Rehearsal verbal, as well activated a network comprising ventrolateral premotor cortex (encroaching Broca's area), dorsal cortex, planum temporale, inferior parietal lobe, anterior insula,...
Abstract The present study investigated simultaneous processing of language and music using visually presented sentences auditorily chord sequences. Music-syntactically regular irregular functions were synchronously with syntactically correct or incorrect words, words that had either a high low semantic cloze probability. chords elicited an early right anterior negativity (ERAN). Syntactically left (LAN). LAN was clearly reduced when simultaneously music-syntactically functions. Processing...
Abstract The present study investigated music‐syntactic processing with chord sequences that ended on either regular or irregular functions. Sequences were composed such perceived differences in the cognitive between syntactically and chords could not be due to sensory of acoustic factors like pitch repetition, commonality (the major component “sensory dissonance”), roughness. Three experiments independent groups subjects conducted: a behavioral experiment two using electroencephalography....
Contemporary neural models of auditory language comprehension proposed that the two hemispheres are differently specialized in processing segmental and suprasegmental features language. While syntactic lexical semantic information is predominantly assigned to left hemisphere, right hemisphere thought have a primacy for prosodic such as accentuation boundary marking. A dynamic interplay between assumed allow timely coordination both types. The present event-related potential study...
THIS FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING STUDY EXAMINES SHARED AND DISTINCT CORTICAL AREAS INVOLVED IN THE AUDITORY PERCEPTION OF SONG SPEECH AT LEVEL THEIR UNDERLYING CONSTITUENTS: words and pitch patterns. Univariate multivariate analyses were performed to isolate the neural correlates of word- pitch-based discrimination between song speech, corrected for rhythmic differences in both. Therefore, six conditions, arranged a subtractive hierarchy created: sung sentences including words,...
Abstract When people interact with each other, their brains synchronize. However, it remains unclear whether interbrain synchrony (IBS) is functionally relevant for social interaction or stems from exposure of individual to identical sensorimotor information. To disentangle these views, the current dual-EEG study investigated amplitude-based IBS in pianists jointly performing duets containing a silent pause followed by tempo change. First, we manipulated similarity anticipated change and...
In the present study, early right-anterior negativity (ERAN) elicited by harmonically inappropriate chords during listening to music was compared frequency mismatch (MMN) and abstract-feature MMN. Results revealed that amplitude of ERAN, in contrast MMN, is specifically dependent on degree harmonic appropriateness. Thus, ERAN correlated with cognitive processing complex rule-based information, i.e. application music–syntactic rules. Moreover, results showed had both a longer latency, larger...
It is an open question whether cognitive processes of auditory perception that are mediated by functionally different cortices exhibit the same sensitivity to sedation. The event-related potentials P1, mismatch negativity (MMN), and early right anterior (ERAN) originate from cortical areas reflect stages processing. P1 originates mainly primary cortex. MMN generated in or close vicinity cortex but also dependent on frontal sources. ERAN generators. purpose study was investigate effects...
The cognitive relationship between lyrics and tunes in song is currently under debate, with some researchers arguing that are represented as separate components, while others suggest they processed integration. present study addressed this issue by means of a functional magnetic resonance adaptation paradigm during passive listening to unfamiliar songs. repetition variation and/or blocks six songs was crossed 2 × factorial design induce selective for each component. Reductions the...
Music played in ensembles is a naturalistic model to study joint action and leader-follower relationships. Recently, the investigation of brain underpinnings musical actions has gained attention; however, cerebral correlates underlying roles leader follower music performance remain elusive. The present addressed this question by simultaneously measuring hemodynamic functional neural activity elicited during violin duet using fNIRS. Findings revealed distinct patterns activation when...
Abstract Human personality has brain correlates that exert manifold influences on biological processes. This study investigates relations between emotional and heart activity. Our data demonstrate is related to a specific cardiac amplitude signature in the resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Two experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging show this with activity amygdala hippocampus during processing of musical stimuli valence. Additionally, subjective indices emotionality (as...
Abstract Intonation, the modulation of pitch in speech, is a crucial aspect language that processed right‐hemispheric regions, beyond classical left‐hemispheric system. Whether or not this notion generalises across languages remains, however, unclear. Particularly, tonal are an interesting test case because dual linguistic function conveys lexical meaning form tone, addition to intonation. To date, only few studies have explored how intonation languages, compares tone and between non‐tonal...
