The mismatch negativity (MMN) in basic research of central auditory processing: a review.

Risto Näätänen, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2007 - 
TL;DR: The mismatch negativity (MMN) enables one to establish the brain processes underlying the initiation of attention switch to, conscious perception of, sound change in an unattended stimulus stream.

Invited review The mismatch negativity (MMN) in basic research of central auditory processing: A review

R. Naatanen, +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basic research using the mismatch negativity (MMN) and analogous results obtained by using the magnetoencephalography (MEG) and other brain-imaging technologies is reviewed.

Emotional responses to music: The need to consider underlying mechanisms

Patrik N. Juslin, +1 more
- 01 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that music evokes emotions through mechanisms that are not unique to music, and that the study of musical emotions could benefit the emotion field as a whole by providing novel paradigms for emotion induction.

The Evolution of Language

W. Tecumseh Fitch
- 01 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: The authors exploit newly available massive natu- ral language corpora to capture the language as a language evolution phenomenon. But their work is limited to a subset of the languages in the corpus.

Towards a neural basis of music-evoked emotions

Stefan Koelsch
- 01 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Because dysfunctions in these structures are related to emotional disorders, a better understanding of music-evoked emotions and their neural correlates can lead to a more systematic and effective use of music in therapy.

Emotion Circuits in the Brain

Joseph E. LeDoux
- 01 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area, and much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning as mentioned in this paper.

The mirror-neuron system.

Giacomo Rizzolatti, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: A neurophysiological mechanism appears to play a fundamental role in both action understanding and imitation, and those properties specific to the human mirror-neuron system that might explain the human capacity to learn by imitation are stressed.

Emotion Circuits in the Brain

Joseph E. LeDoux
TL;DR: This work has pinpointed the amygdala as an important component of the system involved in the acquisition, storage, and expression of fear memory and has elucidated in detail how stimuli enter, travel through, and exit the amygdala.

The Organization of Networks within the Orbital and Medial Prefrontal Cortex of Rats, Monkeys and Humans

Dost Öngür, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: The OMPFC appears to function as a sensory-visceromotor link, especially for eating, which appears to be critical for the guidance of reward-related behavior and for setting of mood.

Intensely pleasurable responses to music correlate with activity in brain regions implicated in reward and emotion

Anne J. Blood, +1 more
- 25 Sep 2001 - 
TL;DR: This finding links music with biologically relevant, survival-related stimuli via their common recruitment of brain circuitry involved in pleasure and reward.
Frequently Asked Questions (2)
Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

This article provides an overview of recent developments and a framework for the perceptual side of music processing. This framework lays out a model of the cognitive modules involved in music perception, and attempts to provide information about the time course of activity of some of these modules, as well as research findings about where in the brain these modules might be located. 

Towards a neural basis of music perceptionMusic perception involves complex brain functions underlying acoustic analysis, auditory memory, auditory scene analysis, as well as processing of musical syntax and semantics.
