Origins of music in credible signaling
Music comprises a diverse category of cognitive phenomena that likely represent both the
effects of psychological adaptations that are specific to music (eg, rhythmic entrainment) and …

Multiscale temporal integration organizes hierarchical computation in human auditory cortex
To derive meaning from sound, the brain must integrate information across many timescales.
What computations underlie multiscale integration in human auditory cortex? Evidence …

[HTML][HTML] Envelope reconstruction of speech and music highlights stronger tracking of speech at low frequencies
The human brain tracks amplitude fluctuations of both speech and music, which reflects
acoustic processing in addition to the encoding of higher-order features and one's cognitive …

Music-selective neural populations arise without musical training
D Boebinger, SV Norman-Haignere… - Journal of …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Recent work has shown that human auditory cortex contains neural populations anterior and
posterior to primary auditory cortex that respond selectively to music. However, it is unknown …

[HTML][HTML] EEG-based classification of natural sounds reveals specialized responses to speech and music
Humans can easily distinguish many sounds in the environment, but speech and music are
uniquely important. Previous studies, mostly using fMRI, have identified separate regions of …

[HTML][HTML] Speech and music recruit frequency-specific distributed and overlapping cortical networks
To what extent does speech and music processing rely on domain-specific and domain-
general neural networks? Using whole-brain intracranial EEG recordings in 18 epilepsy …

The effect of familiarity on neural representations of music and language
We investigated how familiarity alters music and language processing in the brain. We used
fMRI to measure brain responses before and after participants were familiarized with novel …

Multiscale integration organizes hierarchical computation in human auditory cortex
To derive meaning from sound, the brain must integrate information across tens (eg
phonemes) to hundreds (eg words) of milliseconds, but the neural computations that enable …

Cortical music selectivity does not require musical training
D Boebinger, S Norman-Haignere, J McDermott… - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Human auditory cortex contains neural populations that respond strongly to a wide variety of
music sounds, but much less strongly to sounds with similar acoustic properties or to other …

Detection of pitch errors in well-known songs
We examined pitch-error detection in well-known songs sung with or without meaningful
lyrics. In Experiment 1, adults heard the initial phrase of familiar songs sung with lyrics or …
