Musical training predicts cerebello-hippocampal coupling during music listening.
2018
Cerebello-hippocampal interactions occur during accurate spatiotemporal prediction of movements. In the context of music listening, differences in cerebello-hippocampal functional connectivity may result from differences in predictive listening accuracy. Using functional MRI, we studied differences in this network between 18 musicians and 18 nonmusicians while they listened to music. Musicians possess a predictive listening advantage over nonmusicians, facilitated by strengthened coupling between produced and heard sounds through lifelong musical experience. Thus, we hypothesized that musicians would exhibit greater functional connectivity than nonmusicians as a marker of accurate online pr…
Identifying musical pieces from fMRI data using encoding and decoding models.
2018
AbstractEncoding models can reveal and decode neural representations in the visual and semantic domains. However, a thorough understanding of how distributed information in auditory cortices and temporal evolution of music contribute to model performance is still lacking in the musical domain. We measured fMRI responses during naturalistic music listening and constructed a two-stage approach that first mapped musical features in auditory cortices and then decoded novel musical pieces. We then probed the influence of stimuli duration (number of time points) and spatial extent (number of voxels) on decoding accuracy. Our approach revealed a linear increase in accuracy with duration and a poin…
Decoding Musical Training from Dynamic Processing of Musical Features in the Brain
2018
AbstractPattern recognition on neural activations from naturalistic music listening has been successful at predicting neural responses of listeners from musical features, and vice versa. Inter-subject differences in the decoding accuracies have arisen partly from musical training that has widely recognized structural and functional effects on the brain. We propose and evaluate a decoding approach aimed at predicting the musicianship class of an individual listener from dynamic neural processing of musical features. Whole brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data was acquired from musicians and nonmusicians during listening of three musical pieces from different genres. Six mus…
Exploring Frequency-Dependent Brain Networks from Ongoing EEG Using Spatial ICA During Music Listening
2020
Recently, exploring brain activity based on functional networks during naturalistic stimuli especially music and video represents an attractive challenge because of the low signal-to-noise ratio in collected brain data. Although most efforts focusing on exploring the listening brain have been made through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), sensor-level electro- or magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) technique, little is known about how neural rhythms are involved in the brain network activity under naturalistic stimuli. This study exploited cortical oscillations through analysis of ongoing EEG and musical feature during freely listening to music. We used a data-driven method that co…
A study into the neural processing of natural music in the brains of musicians and non-musicians by means of magnetoencephalography
2015
Studying music processing in the brain is a complex task, which involves multidisciplinary skills to achieve the most constructive results. The current experiment investigated MEG brain signals of musicians, music amateurs and non-musicians while they were listening to three different complete music pieces. Brain signals were also recorded while the subjects were resting with their eyes closed and eyes open. The present study aimed to investigate possible differences between neural responses depending on musical expertise and experimental condition (listening vs. resting). These differences were expected in the auditory and motor brain areas. Several ANOVAs were conducted for the data analy…
Being moved by listening to unfamiliar sad music induces reward‐related hormonal changes in empathic listeners
2021
Many people enjoy sad music, and the appeal for tragedy is widespread among the consumers of film and literature. The underlying mechanisms of such aesthetic experiences are not well understood. We tested whether pleasure induced by sad, unfamiliar instrumental music is explained with a homeostatic or a reward theory, each of which is associated with opposite patterns of changes in the key hormones. Sixty-two women listened to sad music (or nothing) while serum was collected for subsequent measurement of prolactin (PRL) and oxytocin (OT) and stress marker (cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone) concentrations. Two groups of participants were recruited on the basis of low and high trait e…
Phenomenological ontology of breathing : the phenomenologico-ontological interpretation of the barbaric conviction of we breathe air and a new philos…
2018
The general topic of my philosophical dissertation is phenomenological ontology of breathing. I do not investigate the phenomenon of breathing as a natural scientific problem, but as a philosophical question. Within our tradition, breathing has been normally understood as a mechanistic-materialistic physiological life-sustaining process of gas exchange and cellular respiration which does not really seem to have any essential connection to human being’s spiritual, mental or philosophical capacities. On the contrary to this natural scientific view, I argue that breathing can be understood as a philosophical question that has phenomenological, experiential, ontological, spiritual, bodily, ment…
Data-driven analysis for fMRI during naturalistic music listening
2017
Interest towards higher ecological validity in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments has been steadily growing since the turn of millennium. The trend is reflected in increasing amount of naturalistic experiments, where participants are exposed to the real-world complex stimulus and/or cognitive tasks such as watching movie, playing video games, or listening to music. Multifaceted stimuli forming parallel streams of input information, combined with reduced control over experimental variables introduces number of methodological challenges associated with isolating brain responses to individual events. This exploratory work demonstrated some of those methodological challeng…
Käräjätuomareiden ja syyttäjien käsitykset kuuntelemisesta
2008
Tutkimus selvittää suomalaisten käräjätuomareiden ja syyttäjien kuuntelemisen käsitteelle antamia merkityssisältöjä. Kuuntelemisen käsite on monitulkintainen, mutta yleisesti sen voidaan katsoa merkitsevän kognitiivista informaation organisointia ja sanoman kriittistä arviointia. Samalla sen voidaan nähdä olevan välinesuhteiden rakentamisessa ja ylläpitämisessä sekä oppimisessa ja informaation yhdistelemisessä. (Imhof 2003.) Kuuntelemisen käsitteelle annetut merkityssisällöt myös ennustavat kuuntelemiskäyttäytymistä (Fitch-Hauser 1990; Imhof & Janusik 2006, 81). Oikeudellinen viestintäympäristä on kuuntelemisen kannalta haasteellinen tutkimuskohde sen toiminnan muodollisuuden, hierarkki…
Modelling and prediction of perceptual segmentation
2017
While listening to music, we somehow make sense of a multiplicity of auditory events; for example, in popular music we are often able to recognize whether the current section is a verse or a chorus, and to identify the boundaries between these segments. This organization occurs at multiple levels, since we can discern motifs, phrases, sections and other groupings. In this work, we understand segment boundaries as instants of significant change. Several studies on music perception and cognition have strived to understand what types of changes are associated with perceptual structure. However, effects of musical training, possible differences between real-time and non real-time segmentation, and…
