This paper examines the role of mental imagery in music performance. Self‐reports by
musicians, and various other sources of anecdotal evidence, suggest that covert auditory …

Moving to music is intuitive and spontaneous, and music is widely used to support
movement, most commonly during exercise. Auditory cues are increasingly also used in the …

We investigated the neural underpinnings of timbral, tonal, and rhythmic features of a
naturalistic musical stimulus. Participants were scanned with functional Magnetic …

Previous work has shown that mental imagination of sound generally elicits an increase of
alpha band activity (8–12Hz) in the electroencephalogram (EEG). In addition, alpha activity …

Neuroimaging approaches have implicated multiple brain sites in musical perception,
including the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus and adjacent perisylvian areas …

Perceiving musical rhythms can be considered a process of attentional chunking over time,
driven by accent patterns. A rhythmic structure can also be generated internally, by placing a …

In the current study we use electroencephalography (EEG) to detect heard music from the
brain signal, hypothesizing that the time structure in music makes it especially suitable for …

Music is commonly used to facilitate or support movement, and increasingly used in
movement rehabilitation. Additionally, there is some evidence to suggest that music imagery …

Note onsets in music are acoustic landmarks providing auditory cues that underlie the
perception of more complex phenomena such as beat, rhythm, and meter. For naturalistic …

Listening to music moves our minds and moods, stirring interest in its neural underpinnings.
A multitude of compositional features drives the appeal of natural music. How such original …
