higher hierarchical metrical levels, as in a march (groups of two basic beats, one–two–one …

Why do we like the music we do? Research has shown that musical preferences and
personality are linked, yet little is known about other influences on preferences such as …

Neural decoding models can be used to decode neural representations of visual, acoustic,
or semantic information. Recent studies have demonstrated neural decoders that are able to …

In this article we conclude the main scientific studies into the changes in the bioelectrical
brainwave activity that occur while listening to music. A brainwave spectral analysis, derived …

Sleep loss is a widespread problem with serious physical and economic consequences.
Music can impact upon physical, psychological and emotional states, which may explain …

The pleasurable urge to move to music (PLUMM) activates motor and reward areas of the
brain and is thought to be driven by predictive processes. Dopamine in motor and limbic …

Neural activity in the auditory system synchronizes to sound rhythms, and brain–
environment synchronization is thought to be fundamental to successful auditory perception …

The tendency for groove-based music to induce body movements has been linked to
multiple acoustical factors. However, it is unclear how or whether tempo affects groove …

Oscillatory EEG activity in the human brain with frequencies in the gamma range (approx. 30–
80 Hz) is known to be relevant for a large number of cognitive processes. Interestingly, each …
