Neural basis of auditory stream segregation
Neural correlates of aesthetic vs. descriptive listening of the same musical cadences
Distinction beween consonant and dissonant intervals by a patient and cont
rol subjects
Two unfamiliar six

with correct, 10 with ambiguous, 10 with incorrect ending

Two sets of four intervals: a ”consonant” and a ”dis

fMRI. Decide whether the melodies are identical or different. 8 listeners
15 nonmusicians.
EEG while listening. Judging tasks: correct / incorrect or like / dislike
One patient, who had bilateral lesions in the auditory cortex, but intact hearing.
EEG while listening
Difference if the target melody is presented before or after the melody with distractor tones?
Activated neural resources, especially right frontocentral negativity
Effects of patient’s
bilateral
lesions in the auditory cortex
Event
-Related Potentials
(ERP
), Mismatch N
egativity
(MMN)
Similar cortical networks involved in both conditions
More neural resources are devoted to prepare an evaluative (aesthetic) listening The electrical brain responses did not differentiate
be
tween
dissonance and consonance
.
Neural substrates underlying MMN generation are altered by patient’s brain lesions.
