Music is core to human experience, yet the precise neural dynamics underlying music
perception remain unknown. We analyzed a unique intracranial electroencephalography …

Numerous studies have argued that bilingualism has effects on cognitive functions.
Recently, in light of increasingly mixed empirical results, this claim has been challenged …

The perception of musical phrase boundaries is a critical aspect of human musical
experience: It allows us to organize, understand, derive pleasure from, and remember …

Converging evidence has demonstrated that musical training is associated with improved
perceptual and cognitive skills, including executive functions and general intelligence …

Introduction During the past decades there has been an increasing interest in tracking brain
network fluctuations in health and disease by means of resting state functional magnetic …

Neurobiological models of emotion focus traditionally on limbic/paralimbic regions as neural
substrates of emotion generation, and insular cortex (in conjunction with isocortical anterior …

Learning to play an instrument at an advanced age may help to counteract or slow down
age-related cognitive decline. However, studies investigating the neural underpinnings of …

Recent work has shown that human auditory cortex contains neural populations anterior and
posterior to primary auditory cortex that respond selectively to music. However, it is unknown …

Methods to reduce impact in distance runners have been proposed based on real-time
auditory feedback of tibial acceleration. These methods were developed using treadmill …

Spreading activation in the cognitive network explains why music is experienced as familiar
or likable. It might also be a premise for the emotion-inducing mechanisms of the …
