This paper describes methods to analyze the brain′ s electric fields recorded with
multichannel Electroencephalogram (EEG) and demonstrates their implementation in the …

Background: Emotion regulation (ER) is an internal process through which a person
maintains a comfortable state of arousal by modulating one or more aspects of emotion. The …

Learning to play a musical instrument is a complex task that integrates multiple sensory
modalities and higher-order cognitive functions. Therefore, musical training is considered a …

Music evokes complex emotions beyond pleasant/unpleasant or happy/sad dichotomies
usually investigated in neuroscience. Here, we used functional neuroimaging with …

One of the most fundamental functions of the brain is to predict upcoming events on the
basis of the recent past. A closely related function is to signal when a prediction has been …

Producing and perceiving music engage a wide range of sensorimotor, cognitive, and
emotional processes. Emotions are a central feature of the enjoyment of music, with a large …

Electrical neuroimaging is based on the analysis of brain electrical activity recorded from the
human scalp with multichannel EEG. It offers enormous potential for the dynamic map** of …

Emotion-related areas of the brain, such as the medial frontal cortices, amygdala and
striatum are activated during listening to sad or happy music as well as during listening to …

Using optimized voxel-based morphometry, we performed grey matter density analyses on
59 age-, sex-and intelligence-matched young adults with three distinct, progressive levels of …

Subcortical brain structures of the limbic system, such as the amygdala, are thought to
decode the emotional value of sensory information. Recent neuroimaging studies, as well as …
