“…The human auditory system exhibits a marked sensitivity to, and memory of music (Fujioka, Trainor, Ross, Kakigi, & Pantev, 2005;Trainor, Marie, Bruce, & Bidelman, 2014;Filipic, Tillmann, & Bigand, 2010;Halpern & Bartlett, 2010;Schellenberg, Iverson, & McKinnon, 1999;Koelsch, 2018). The concept of music familiarity heavily relies on long term memory traces (Wagner, Shannon, Kahn, & Buckner, 2005) in the form of auditory mental imagery (Halpern & Zatorre, 1999;Kraemer, Macrae, Green, & Kelley, 2005;Martarelli, Mayer, & Mast, 2016) and is also linked to autobiographical memories (Janata, Tomic, & Rakowski, 2007).…”

Human listeners exhibit marked sensitivity to familiar music -perhaps most readily revealed by popular "name that tune" games, in which listeners often succeed in recognizing a familiar song based on extremely brief presentation. In this work we used electroencephalography (EEG) and pupillometry to reveal the temporal signatures of the brain processes that allow differentiation between familiar and unfamiliar music. Participants (N=10) passively listened to snippets (750 ms) of familiar and, acoustically matched, unfamiliar songs, presented in random order. A group of control participants (N=12), which were unfamiliar with all of the songs, was also used. In the main group we reveal a rapid differentiation between snippets from familiar and unfamiliar songs: Pupil responses showed greater dilation rate to familiar music from 100-300 ms post stimulus onset. Brain responses measured with EEG showed a differentiation between familiar and unfamiliar music from 350 ms post onset but, notably, in the opposite direction to that seen with pupillometry: Unfamiliar snippets were associated with greater responses than familiar snippets. Possible underlying mechanisms are discussed.

“…Further, music perception is related to neural activity in brain areas associated with processing emotion and reward (for a review, see Koelsch, 2014). Thus, music can be a useful tool for investigating the neural correlates of emotion (Koelsch, 2018).…”

Whether and how personality traits explain the individual variance in neural responses to emotion in music remains unclear. The sparse studies on this topic report inconsistent findings. The present study extends previous work using regions of variance (ROVs) as regions of interest, compared with whole-brain analysis. Fifty-five subjects listened to happy, sad, and fearful music during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Personality was measured with the Big Five Questionnaire. Results confirmed previous observations of Neuroticism being positively related to activation during sad music, in the left inferior parietal lobe. In an exploratory analysis, Openness was positively related to activation during Happy music in an extended cluster in auditory areas, primarily including portions of the left Heschl's gyrus, superior and middle temporal gyri, supramarginal gyrus, and Rolandic operculum. In the whole-brain analysis, similar results were found for Neuroticism but not for Openness. In turn, we did not replicate previous findings of Extraversion associated to activity during happy music, nor Neuroticism during fearful music.These results support a trait-congruent link between personality and emotion-elicited brain activity, and further our understanding of the action-observation network during emotional music listening. This study also indicates the usefulness of the ROV method in individual-differences research.

Music is ubiquitous, both in its instrumental and vocal forms. While speech perception at birth has been at the core of an extensive corpus of research, the origins of the ability to discriminate instrumental or vocal melodies is still not well investigated. In previous studies comparing vocal and musical perception, the vocal stimuli were mainly related to speaking, including language, and not to the non‐language singing voice. In the present study, to better compare a melodic instrumental line with the voice, we used singing as a comparison stimulus, to reduce the dissimilarities between the two stimuli as much as possible, separating language perception from vocal musical perception. In the present study, 45 newborns were scanned, 10 full‐term born infants and 35 preterm infants at term‐equivalent age (mean gestational age at test = 40.17 weeks, SD = 0.44) using functional magnetic resonance imaging while listening to five melodies played by a musical instrument (flute) or sung by a female voice. To examine the dynamic task‐based effective connectivity, we employed a psychophysiological interaction of co‐activation patterns (PPI‐CAPs) analysis, using the auditory cortices as seed region, to investigate moment‐to‐moment changes in task‐driven modulation of cortical activity during an fMRI task. Our findings reveal condition‐specific, dynamically occurring patterns of co‐activation (PPI‐CAPs). During the vocal condition, the auditory cortex co‐activates with the sensorimotor and salience networks, while during the instrumental condition, it co‐activates with the visual cortex and the superior frontal cortex. Our results show that the vocal stimulus elicits sensorimotor aspects of the auditory perception and is processed as a more salient stimulus while the instrumental condition activated higher‐order cognitive and visuo‐spatial networks. Common neural signatures for both auditory stimuli were found in the precuneus and posterior cingulate gyrus. Finally, this study adds knowledge on the dynamic brain connectivity underlying the newborns capability of early and specialized auditory processing, highlighting the relevance of dynamic approaches to study brain function in newborn populations.
