“…In accordance with previous studies that demonstrated the importance of tempo in auditory rhythms perception [Baruch and Drake, 1997;Dalla Bella et al, 2001;Drake et al, 2000;Trainor et al, 2004] and sensorimotor coupling [Chen et al, 2006;Drake et al, 2000;Fraisse, 1982;Large, 2000;Moelants, 2002;Moelants, 2003;van Noorden and Moelants, 1999], tempo was the most influential time-related property both in preceding pilot testing (cf.

“…More specifically, we aimed to clarify whether activity enhancement for preferred musical rhythms can be traced back to preferred beat frequency, i.e., tempo. We expected tempo to be the most important time-related property influencing the subjects' preferences (i) due to its prominent role in auditory rhythm perception [Baruch and Drake, 1997;Dalla Bella et al, 2001;Drake et al, 2000;Trainor et al, 2004], and (ii) because it provides the underlying pulse, a beat, people tune in to when listening to music, i.e., it often triggers sensorimotor coupling [Chen et al, 2006;Drake et al, 2000;Fraisse, 1982;Large, 2000;Moelants, 2002;Moelants, 2003;van Noorden and Moelants, 1999]. To this end, we modeled brain data on the basis of individual judgment analyses including all constituents of the musical rhythms as predictors for the subjects' aesthetic judgments.…”

Listening to music can induce us to tune in to its beat. Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that the motor system becomes involved in perceptual rhythm and timing tasks in general, as well as during preference-related responses to music. However, the role of preferred rhythm and, in particular, of preferred beat frequency (tempo) in driving activity in the motor system remains unknown. The goals of the present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study were to determine whether the musical rhythms that are subjectively judged as beautiful boost activity in motor-related areas and if so, whether this effect is driven by preferred tempo, the underlying pulse people tune in to. On the basis of the subjects' judgments, individual preferences were determined for the different systematically varied constituents of the musical rhythms. Results demonstrate the involvement of premotor and cerebellar areas during preferred compared to not preferred musical rhythms and indicate that activity in the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) is enhanced by preferred tempo. Our findings support the assumption that the premotor activity increase during preferred tempo is the result of enhanced sensorimotor simulation of the beat frequency. This may serve as a mechanism that facilitates the tuning-in to the beat of appealing music.

“…Although some work suggests that sensitivity to complex abstract musical structures, such as tonality and implied harmony, changes from infancy to adulthood (Cuddy & Badertscher, 1987;Krumhansl & Keil, 1982;Lynch & Eilers, 1992;Trainor & Trehub, 1992), other findings suggest that children's basic auditory perception abilities function along principles similar to those of adults (Baruch & Drake, 1997;Demany, 1982;Drake & Penel, 1999;Trehub, 2000;Trehub, Bull, & Thorpe, 1984). Analogies between musical motion and principles of physical motion also suggest that musical training may not be necessary for sensitivity to acoustic features of performances.…”

“…Similarly, listening to a 15% tempo change, faster or slower than spontaneous non-nutritive sucking tempo has been found to slow down sucking tempo in newborns and two month-old infants (Bobin-B egue et al, 2006). In addition, a number of authors reported an ability of two to six months old infants to remember a tempo and perceive tempo modifications using a head-turn paradigm (Baruch and Drake, 1997;Trainor et al, 2004;Trehub and Hannon, 2009). Thus, these early behavioral responses speak for an ability to detect rhythm and tempo and violation of these temporal patterns have been detected by electroencephalogram studies in two month-old infants (Otte et al, 2013) and in newborns (H aden et al, 2015).…”

Music processing in preterm and full-term newborns: A psychophysiological interaction (PPI) approach in neonatal fMRI

A B S T R A C TNeonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) provide special equipment designed to give life support for the increasing number of prematurely born infants and assure their survival. More recently NICU's strive to include developmentally oriented care and modulate sensory input for preterm infants. Music, among other sensory stimuli, has been introduced into NICUs, but without knowledge on the basic music processing in the brain of preterm infants. In this study, we explored the cortico-subcortical music processing of different types of conditions (Original music, Tempo modification, Key transposition) in newborns shortly after birth to assess the effective connectivity of the primary auditory cortex with the entire newborn brain. Additionally, we investigated if early exposure during NICU stay modulates brain processing of music in preterm infants at term equivalent age. We approached these two questions using Psychophysiological Interaction (PPI) analyses. A group of preterm infants listened to music (Original music) starting from 33 weeks postconceptional age until term equivalent age and were compared to two additional groups without music intervention; preterm infants and full-term newborns. Auditory cortex functional connectivity with cerebral regions known to be implicated in tempo and familiarity processing were identified only for preterm infants with music training in the NICU. Increased connectivity between auditory cortices and thalamus and dorsal striatum may not only reflect their sensitivity to the known music and the processing of its tempo as familiar, but these results are also compatible with the hypothesis that the previously listened music induces a more arousing and pleasant state. Our results suggest that music exposure in NICU's environment can induce brain functional connectivity changes that are associated with music processing.
