This book was released on 2012-10-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing and communication present a variety of challenges to the nervous system. To be heard and understood, a communication signal must be transformed from a time-varying acoustic waveform to a perceptual representation to an even more abstract representation that integrates memory stores with semantic/referential information. Finally, this complex, abstract representation must be interpreted to form categorical decisions that guide behavior. Did I hear the stimulus? From where and whom did it come? What does it tell me? How can I use this information to plan an action? All of these issues and questions underlie auditory cognition. Since the early 1990s, there has been a re-birth of studies that test the neural correlates of auditory cognition with a unique emphasis on the use of awake, behaving animals as model. Continuing today, how and where in the brain neural correlates of auditory cognition are formed is an intensive and active area of research. Importantly, our understanding of the role that the cortex plays in hearing has the potential to impact the next generation of cochlear- and brainstem-auditory implants and consequently help those with hearing impairments. Thus, it is timely to produce a volume that brings together this exciting literature on the neural correlates of auditory cognition. This volume compliments and extends many recent SHAR volumes such as Sound Source Localization (2005) Auditory Perception of Sound Sources (2007), and Human Auditory Cortex (2010). For example, in many of these volumes, similar issues are discussed such as auditory-object identification and perception with different emphases: in Auditory Perception of Sound Sources, authors discuss the underlying psychophysics/behavior, whereas in the Human Auditory Cortex, fMRI data are presented. The unique contribution of the proposed volume is that the authors will integrate both of these factors to highlight the neural correlates of cognition/behavior. Moreover, unlike other these other volumes, the neurophysiological data will emphasize the exquisite spatial and temporal resolution of single-neuron [as opposed to more coarse fMRI or MEG data] responses in order to reveal the elegant representations and computations used by the nervous system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of music and the brain can be traced back to the work of Gall in the 18th century, continuing with John Hughlings Jackson, August Knoblauch, Richard Wallaschek, and others. These early researchers were interested in localizing musicality in the brain and learning more about how music is processed in both healthy individuals and those with dysfunctions of various kinds. Since then, the research literature has mushroomed, especially in the latter part of the 20th and early 21st centuries. The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Brain is a groundbreaking compendium of current research on music in the human brain. It brings together an international roster of 54 authors from 13 countries providing an essential guide to this rapidly growing field. The major themes include Music, the Brain, and Cultural Contexts; Music Processing in The Human Brain; Neural Responses to Music; Musicianship and Brain Function; Developmental Issues in Music and the Brain; Music, the Brain, and Health; and the Future. Each chapter offers a thorough review of the current status of research literature as well as an examination of limitations of knowledge and suggestions for future advancement and research efforts. The book is valuable for a broad readership including neuroscientists, musicians, clinicians, researchers and scholars from related fields but also readers with a general interest in the topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, music and language have been treated as different psychological faculties. This duality is reflected in older theories about the lateralization of speech and music in that speech functions were thought to be localized on the left and music functions on the right hemisphere. But with the advent of modern brain imaging techniques and the improvement of neurophysiological measures to investigate brain functions an entirely new view on the neural and psychological underpinnings of music and speech has evolved. The main point of convergence in the findings of these new studies is that music and speech functions have many aspects in common and that several neural modules are similarly involved in speech and music. There is also emerging evidence that speech functions can benefit from music functions and vice versa. This new research field has accumulated a lot of new information and it is therefore timely to bring together the work of those researchers who have been most visible, productive, and inspiring in this field and to ask them to present their new work or provide a summary of their laboratory's work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human imagination manifests in countless different forms. We imagine the possible and the impossible. How do we do this so effortlessly? Why did the capacity for imagination evolve and manifest with undeniably manifold complexity uniquely in human beings? This handbook reflects on such questions by collecting perspectives on imagination from leading experts. It showcases a rich and detailed analysis on how the imagination is understood across several disciplines of study, including anthropology, archaeology, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and the arts. An integrated theoretical-empirical-applied picture of the field is presented, which stands to inform researchers, students, and practitioners about the issues of relevance across the board when considering the imagination. With each chapter, the nature of human imagination is examined - what it entails, how it evolved, and why it singularly defines us as a species.

Download or read book Neural Correlates of Top-down Musical Temporal Processing written by Emily Graber and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For performers and listeners, mentally processing time during musical sequences is essential for executing and understanding the underlying structure and expressive intention in music. In performing classical chamber music for example, the musicians must dynamically monitor their own playing as well as that of their group members for synchrony, they must collectively prepare for and perform rubato or explicit tempo changes, and they must actively track time even when the group has rests instead of notes. Audience members, too, can do such temporal processes as anticipate expressive or scored tempo changes (if they happen to have prior familiarity with the piece), make predictions about the development of a changing musical tempo, and expect certain continuations of the music in time. Notably, the temporal processes mentioned here for both performers and listeners are active, based on voluntary effort put into creating, conveying, or engaging with ongoing music. Moreover, these active temporal processes may be done on top of whatever automatic processes occur due to simply hearing sounds arranged in time. In order to characterize the neural activities that reflect automatic temporal processing, many previous studies have taken bottom-up approaches, driving fixed temporal expectations with fixed stimulus properties and measuring the brain responses elicited by expectation violations after deviating patterns. Only recently have some studies started to investigate the neural activities that result from active temporal processing without manipulating the stimuli. In this dissertation, top-down musical temporal processes were studied in particular by using a unique paradigm with controlled stimuli designed to drive the deliberate processes that musicians and audiences regularly engage in. Specifically, experienced musicians were required to listen to and anticipate tempo accelerations, decelerations, or steady beats after visual cues without knowing when the tempo changes would start. Their electroencephalograms (EEGs) were recorded during this anticipation task, while they continued to monitor the beat sequences for continuity and smoothness during the actual tempo changes, and after each sequence finished. This dissertation presents three studies based on the obtained EEG recordings. Dynamic power modulations of neural oscillations in the beta-band (13-30 Hz) and endogenous evoked response components were analyzed before, during, and after tempo changes. How the targeted neural responses reflected the top-down musical temporal processes of (1) anticipation, (2) temporal interval prediction, and (3) expectation strength are reported in detail. To the field of auditory cognition, this work contributes evidence in support of the hypothesis that the brain actively interacts and engages with stimuli based on top-down goals. Anticipation, direction-specific temporal predictions, and expectations in silence were able to be decoded from ongoing beta modulations and evoked responses, contributing to a neuroscientific understanding of the behavior of beta modulations as well as a musical understanding of what musical temporal processing entails. This work was also the first to document beta modulations during silence after auditory sequences. Finally, compared to standard methods of driving temporal expectation, the paradigm here introduced a more ecologically valid yet EEG-friendly approach to investigate musical temporal processing under experimentally controlled conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music offers a unique opportunity to better understand the organization of the human brain. Like language, music exists in all human societies. Like language, music is a complex, rule-governed activity that seems specific to humans, and associated with a specific brain architecture. Yet unlike most other high-level functions of the human brain - and unlike language - music is a skill at which only a minority of people become proficient. The study of music as a major brain function has for some time been relatively neglected. Just recently, however, we have witnessed an explosion in research activities on music perception and performance and their correlates in the human brain. This volume brings together an outstanding collection of international authorities - from the fields of music, neuroscience, psychology, and neurology - to describe the amazing advances being made in understanding the complex relationship between music and the brain. Aimed at psychologists and neuroscientists, this is a book that will lay the foundations for a cognitive neuroscience of music.

Download or read book Neural Correlates of Music Perception in Cochlear Implant Users Using Functional Neuroimaging written by Joe Saliba and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite significant advances in cochlear implants (CI), music perception in CI recipients remains generally poor. Studies suggest that an enormous variability exists in CI users' ability to perceive and enjoy music through an implant, and the factors that contribute to this wide variation in individual outcomes following cochlear implantation are diverse and not completely understood. The purpose of this thesis was to examine, with the aid of neuroimaging, the neural basis underlying the wide variability in music perception outcomes following implantation.The first part of this thesis reviewed applications and limitations of current neuroimaging modalities, including functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), in the CI population. This review summarized the existing literature on the use of fNIRS neuroimaging in adult and pediatric CI recipients and outlined possible directions for future research, as well as clinical applications using this promising technique. The results of this review revealed that fNIRS is the imaging modality of choice in CI users because it is non-invasive, compatible with CI devices, and not subject to electrical artifacts. The second part of this thesis started the examination of the correlation between behavioral measures of music perception and auditory cortical activation in CI users using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and attempted to identify patient-related factors that modulate this relationship. This prospective case-control study reported on 27 CI recipients and 25 normal-hearing controls. Behavioral music performance was assessed by the Montreal Battery for the Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA). fNIRS neuroimaging of the auditory cortex was recorded during music, rhythm and pitch perception. Results of this study revealed that reliable auditory cortical responses were obtained in all participants with fNIRS. Findings also suggested that larger areas of auditory cortical hemodynamic responses activations may be linked to improved performance on behavioral tasks.Taken together, the findings from the present thesis provide evidence that fNIRS is a safe, reliable neuroimaging modality that can provide an objective brain-based measure of music perception in CI users that is correlated with behavioral outcomes. Ultimately, this data will contribute toward the advancement of strategies aimed at improving the overall musical experience in CI users. " --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE SOCIETY OF MUSIC THEORY’S 2019 CITATION OF SPECIAL MERIT FOR MULTI-AUTHORED VOLUMES The Routledge Companion to Music Cognition addresses fundamental questions about the nature of music from a psychological perspective. Music cognition is presented as the field that investigates the psychological, physiological, and physical processes that allow music to take place, seeking to explain how and why music has such powerful and mysterious effects on us. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of research in music cognition, balancing accessibility with depth and sophistication. A diverse range of global scholars—music theorists, musicologists, pedagogues, neuroscientists, and psychologists—address the implications of music in everyday life while broadening the range of topics in music cognition research, deliberately seeking connections with the kinds of music and musical experiences that are meaningful to the population at large but are often overlooked in the study of music cognition. Such topics include: Music’s impact on physical and emotional health Music cognition in various genres Music cognition in diverse populations, including people with amusia and hearing impairment The relationship of music to learning and accomplishment in academics, sport, and recreation The broader sociological and anthropological uses of music Consisting of over forty essays, the volume is organized by five primary themes. The first section, "Music from the Air to the Brain," provides a neuroscientific and theoretical basis for the book. The next three sections are based on musical actions: "Hearing and Listening to Music," "Making and Using Music," and "Developing Musicality." The closing section, "Musical Meanings," returns to fundamental questions related to music’s meaning and significance, seen from historical and contemporary perspectives. The Routledge Companion to Music Cognition seeks to encourage readers to understand connections between the laboratory and the everyday in their musical lives.

Book excerpt: An edited collection of papers which explore a large number of topics related to musical imagery. Musical imagery can be defined as our mental capacity for imagining sound in the absence of a directly-audible sound source, meaning that we can recall and re-experience or even invent new musical sound through our inner ear. The first part of the volume is focused on theoretical issues such as the history, epistemology, neurological bases, and cognitive models of musical imagery. The second part presents various applications of musical imagery in performance and composition, and provides the reader with a broad overview of the many musical activities which are concerned with musical imagery.;Musical imagery is a truly interdisciplinary subject, and it is the belief of the editors that a plurality of approaches, ranging from the introspective and philosophical to the experimental and computational, is the most fruitful strategy for exploring the subject of musical imagery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans possess certain unique mental traits. Self-reflection, as well as ethic and aesthetic values, is among them, constituting an essential part of what we call the human condition. The human mental machinery led our species to have a self-awareness but, at the same time, a sense of justice, willing to punish unfair actions even if the consequences of such outrages harm our own interests. Also, we appreciate searching for novelties, listening to music, viewing beautiful pictures, or living in well-designed houses. But why is this so? What is the meaning of our tendency, among other particularities, to defend and share values, to evaluate the rectitude of our actions and the beauty of our surroundings? What brain mechanisms correlate with the human capacity to maintain inner speech, or to carry out judgments of value? To what extent are they different from other primates' equivalent behaviors? In the Light of Evolution Volume VII aims to survey what has been learned about the human "mental machinery." This book is a collection of colloquium papers from the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium "The Human Mental Machinery," which was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences on January 11-12, 2013. The colloquium brought together leading scientists who have worked on brain and mental traits. Their 16 contributions focus the objective of better understanding human brain processes, their evolution, and their eventual shared mechanisms with other animals. The articles are grouped into three primary sections: current study of the mind-brain relationships; the primate evolutionary continuity; and the human difference: from ethics to aesthetics. This book offers fresh perspectives coming from interdisciplinary approaches that open new research fields and constitute the state of the art in some important aspects of the mind-brain relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on perspectives from music psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, musicology, clinical psychology, and music education, Music and Mental Imagery provides a critical overview of cutting-edge research on the various types of mental imagery associated with music. The four main parts cover an introduction to the different types of mental imagery associated with music such as auditory/musical, visual, kinaesthetic, and multimodal mental imagery; a critical assessment of established and novel ways to measure mental imagery in various musical contexts; coverage of different states of consciousness, all of which are relevant for, and often associated with, mental imagery in music, and a critical overview of applications of mental imagery in health, educational, and performance settings. By both critically reviewing up-to-date scientific research and offering new empirical results, this book provides a unique overview of the different types and origins of mental imagery in musical contexts, various ways to measure them, and intriguing insights into related mental phenomena such as mind-wandering and synaesthesia. This will be of particular interest for scholars and researchers of music psychology and music education. It will also be useful for practitioners working with music in applied health and educational contexts.
