“…Prior to focusing on the differences in brain activity related to distinct levels of recognition complexity, we verified that the current results were consistent with previous studies. Indeed, the brain areas activated during the recognition of tonal sequences confirmed the involvement of a widespread brain network including both auditory and memory processing regions [36][37][38]40 . Furthermore, in accordance with previous research, the neural activity was clearly distributed in two frequency bands 38,39 .…”

“…Before computing the source reconstruction algorithm, the continuous data were band-pass filtered into two frequency bands: a slow band (delta, 0.1 -1 Hz) and a fast band (theta, 2 -8 Hz). These bands were selected based on the findings reported by Bonetti et al [38][39][40] , which suggested that the theta band was responsible for a sensorial elaboration of each object (tone) of the sequence, while the delta band was implicated in the recognition of the holistic temporal sequence. The filtered data were then epoched and the brain sources that generated the signal were calculated.…”

“…More recently, we introduced novel applications of magnetoencephalography (MEG) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study music recognition. These studies accentuated the temporal involvement of a widespread cortico-subcortical brain network comprising the primary auditory cortex, superior temporal gyrus, frontal operculum, cingulate gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, and hippocampus during recognition of auditory (musical) sequences [38][39][40] . Overall, these investigations have provided unique insight into the neural mechanisms underlying the recognition of temporal sequences.…”

“…To summarize, in the current study we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) and a musical recognition task [38][39][40] while participants listened to and recognized auditory (musical) sequences of varying complexity. We aimed at describing its fine-grained spatiotemporal dynamics.…”

Differently from visual recognition, auditory recognition is a process relying on the organization of single elements that evolve in time. Here, we aimed to discover the spatiotemporal dynamics of this cognitive function by adopting a novel strategy for varying the complexity of musical sequences. We selected traditional tonal musical sequences and altered the distance between pitches to obtain matched atonal sequences. We then recorded the brain activity of 71 participants using magnetoencephalography (MEG) while they listened to and later recognized auditory sequences constructed according to simple (tonal) or complex (atonal) conventions. Results reveal qualitative changes in neural activity dependent on stimulus complexity: recognition of tonal sequences engaged hippocampal and cingulate areas, whereas recognition of atonal sequences mainly activated the auditory processing network. Our findings highlight the involvement of a cortico-subcortical brain network for auditory recognition and support the idea that stimulus complexity qualitatively alters the neural pathways of recognition memory.

“…Hippocampal activity and connectivity has been detected during a range of tasks during music listening, including tone detection (Lehne et al, 2014), timbre and tonality deviant detection (Janata, 2002), temporal order judgments (Mueller et al, 2015), spontaneity judgments (Engel and Keller, 2011), and memory encoding (Bonetti et al, 2021). Hippocampus is also activated during passive music listening, compared to a silent or scrambled baseline (Brown et al, 2004;Mueller et al, 2015Mueller et al, , 2011Mutschler et al, 2010).…”

The hippocampus has a well-established role in spatial and episodic memory but a broader function has been proposed including aspects of perception and relational processing. Neural bases of sound analysis have been described in the pathway to auditory cortex, but wider networks supporting auditory cognition are still being established. We review what is known about the role of the hippocampus in processing auditory information, and how the hippocampus itself is shaped by sound. In examining imaging, recording, and lesion studies in species from rodents to humans, we uncover a hierarchy of hippocampal responses to sound including during passive exposure, active listening, and the learning of associations between sounds and other stimuli. We describe how the hippocampus' connectivity and computational architecture allow it to track and manipulate auditory information – whether in the form of speech, music, or environmental, emotional, or phantom sounds. Functional and structural correlates of auditory experience are also identified. The extent of auditory-hippocampal interactions is consistent with the view that the hippocampus makes broad contributions to perception and cognition, beyond spatial and episodic memory. More deeply understanding these interactions may unlock applications including entraining hippocampal rhythms to support cognition, and intervening in links between hearing loss and dementia.
