To study the mechanisms of coordination that are fundamental to successful interactions we carried out a joint finger tapping experiment in which pairs participants were asked maintain given beat while synchronizing an auditory signal coming from other person or computer. When both hearing each other, pair became coupled, mutually and continuously adaptive unit two “hyper-followers”, with their intertap intervals (ITIs) oscillating opposite directions on tap-to-tap basis. There was thus no...
Moving to music is an essential human pleasure particularly related musical groove. Structurally, associated with groove often characterised by rhythmic complexity in the form of syncopation, frequently observed styles such as funk, hip-hop and electronic dance music. Structural has been positive affect more broadly, but function syncopation eliciting body-movement unknown. Here we report results from a web-based survey which investigated relationship between ratings wanting move experienced...
Abstract The modern understanding of sleep is based on the classification into stages defined by their electroencephalography (EEG) signatures, but underlying brain dynamics remain unclear. Here we aimed to move significantly beyond current state-of-the-art description sleep, and in particular characterise spatiotemporal complexity whole-brain networks state transitions during sleep. In order obtain most unbiased estimate how network states evolve through human cycle, used a Markovian...
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....
Music listening is highly pleasurable and important part of most people's lives. Because music has no obvious importance for survival, the ubiquity remains puzzling brain processes underlying this attraction to are not well understood. Like other rewards (such as food, sex, money), activates structures in dopaminergic reward system, but how manages tap into brain's system less clear. Here we propose a novel framework understanding musical pleasure, suggesting that conforms recent concept...
Abstract Rhythmic incongruity in the form of syncopation is a prominent feature many contemporary musical styles. Syncopations afford between rhythmic patterns and meter, giving rise to mental models differently accented isochronous beats. occur either isolation or as part patterns, so‐called grooves . On basis predictive coding framework, we discuss how brain processing rhythm can be seen special case coding. We present simple, yet powerful model for processes incongruity: incongruity. Our...
Musical ability has been found to be associated with an enhancement of verbal working memory. In this study, we investigated whether effect would generalize visual-spatial memory as expected if the were driven by general intelligence. We administered WAIS-III Digit Span; WMS-III Spatial and Ear Test (MET), a forced-choice same/different listening task measuring musical ability, non-musicians, amateur musicians, expert musicians. Expert musicians significantly outperformed non-musicians on...
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...
Abstract Musical expertise is visible both in the morphology and functionality of brain. Recent research indicates that functional integration between multi‐sensory, somato‐motor, default‐mode (DMN), salience (SN) networks brain differentiates musicians from non‐musicians during resting state. Here, we aimed at determining whether differentially exchange information as opposed to naturalistic music listening. Whole‐brain graph‐theory analyses were performed on participants' fMRI responses....
Abstract The human brain's ability to extract and encode temporal regularities predict the timing of upcoming events is critical for music speech perception. This work addresses how these mechanisms deal with different levels complexity, here number distinct durations in rhythmic patterns. We use electroencephalography ( EEG ) relate mismatch negativity MMN ), a proxy neural prediction error, measure information content sequences, Shannon entropy. Within each three conditions, participants...
The pain in Fibromyalgia (FM) is difficult to treat and functional mobility seems be an important comorbidity these patients that could evolve into a disability. In this study we wanted investigate the analgesic effects of music FM pain. Twenty-one were passively exposed 1) self-chosen, relaxing, pleasant music, 2) control auditory condition (pink noise). They rated performed "timed-up & go task (TUG)" measure after each condition. Listening pleasant, self-chosen reduced increased...
We here compared results achieved by applying popular methods for reducing artifacts in magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings of the auditory evoked Mismatch Negativity (MMN) responses healthy adult subjects. Signal Space Separation (SSS) temporal SSS (tSSS) noise from external nearby sources. Our showed that tSSS reduces interference level more reliably than plain SSS, particularly MEG gradiometers, also subjects not wearing strongly interfering magnetic...
Human social behaviour is complex, and the biological neural mechanisms underpinning it remain debated. A particularly interesting phenomenon our ability tendency to fall into synchronization with other humans. Our coordinate actions goals relies on distinguish between integrate self other, which when impaired can lead devastating consequences. Interpersonal has been a widely used framework for studying action coordination self-other integration, showing that even in simple interactions,...
