Music as a coevolved system for social bonding

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 44

Abstract Why do humans make music? Theories of the evolution musicality have focused mainly on value music for specific adaptive contexts such as mate selection, parental care, coalition signaling, and group cohesion. Synthesizing extending previous proposals, we argue that social bonding is an overarching function unifies all these theories, enabled at larger scales than grooming other mechanisms available in ancestral primate societies. We combine cross-disciplinary evidence from archeology, anthropology, biology, musicology, psychology, neuroscience into a unified framework accounts biological cultural music. involves gene–culture coevolution, through which proto-musical behaviors initially arose spread inventions had feedback effects because their impact bonding. emphasize deep links between production, perception, prediction, reward arising repetition, synchronization, harmonization rhythms pitches, summarize empirical levels brain networks, physiological mechanisms, across cultures species.

The field of neuroaesthetics has gained in popularity recent years but also attracted criticism from the perspectives both humanities and sciences. In an effort to consolidate research field, we characterize as cognitive neuroscience aesthetic experience, drawing on long traditions empirical aesthetics one hand other. We clarify aims scope identifying relations among neuroscientific investigations aesthetics, beauty, art. approach advocate takes its object study a wide spectrum experiences, resulting interactions individuals, sensory stimuli, context. Drawing parent fields, would investigate complex processes functional networks brain regions involved those experiences without placing value them.

Neural correlates of specific musical anhedonia

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 113(46)

Published: Oct. 31, 2016

Significance This study provides direct evidence supporting the model of reward–auditory cortex interaction as underlying musical pleasure: People who do not experience that pleasure have selectively reduced responses in system. are especially sensitive to reward conversely seem show an enhanced interaction. Our paper offers insights into neurobiological basis music-induced could also provide for thinking more broadly about other types aesthetic rewards. results important step toward understanding how music may acquired value through evolution.

Musical reward prediction errors engage the nucleus accumbens and motivate learning

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 116(8), P. 3310 - 3315

Published: Feb. 6, 2019

Enjoying music reliably ranks among life’s greatest pleasures. Like many hedonic experiences, it engages several reward-related brain areas, with activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) most consistently reflecting listener’s subjective response. Converging evidence suggests that this arises from musical “reward prediction errors” (RPEs) signal difference between expected and perceived events, but hypothesis has not been directly tested. In present fMRI experiment, we assessed whether could elicit formally modeled RPEs NAc by applying a well-established decision-making protocol designed validated for studying RPEs. scanner, participants chose arbitrary cues probabilistically led to dissonant or consonant music, learned make choices associated consonance, which they preferred. We regressors of trial-by-trial RPEs, finding tracked musically elicited an extent explained variance individual learning rates. These results demonstrate can act as reward, driving eliciting NAc, hub reward- enjoyment-related activity.

The sensation of groove engages motor and reward networks

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 214, P. 116768 - 116768

Published: March 24, 2020

The sensation of groove has been defined as the pleasurable desire to move music, suggesting that both motor timing and reward processes are involved in this experience. Although many studies have investigated rhythmic musical separately, none examined whether associated cortical subcortical networks engaged while participants listen groove-based music. In current study, musicians non-musicians listened rated experimentally controlled stimuli undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. Medium complexity rhythms elicited higher ratings pleasure wanting were with activity regions linked beat perception reward, well prefrontal parietal implicated generating updating stimuli-based expectations. Activity basal ganglia interest, including nucleus accumbens, caudate putamen, was move, supporting their important role groove. We propose a model which different cortico-striatal circuits interact support mechanisms underlying groove, internal generation beat, beat-based expectations, expectation-based affect. These results show is supported by brain and, along our proposed model, suggest crucial nodes generate powerful response

It's Sad but I Like It: The Neural Dissociation Between Musical Emotions and Liking in Experts and Laypersons

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: Jan. 6, 2016

Emotion-related areas of the brain, such as medial frontal cortices, amygdala, and striatum, are activated during listening to sad or happy music well pleasurable music. Indeed, in music, like other arts, emotions might co-exist be distinct from pleasure enjoyment. Here we aimed at discerning neural correlates sadness happiness opposed those related musical We further investigated whether expertise modulates activity affective To these aims, 13 musicians 16 non-musicians brought lab their most liked disliked pieces with a connotation. Based on test, selected representative 18 sec excerpts interest for each individual participant. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) recordings were obtained while subjects listened rated excerpts.
