Music and speech encode hierarchically organized structural complexity at the service of human expressiveness communication. Previous research has shown that populations neurons in auditory regions track envelope acoustic signals within range slow fast oscillatory activity. However, extent to which cortical tracking is influenced by interplay between stimulus type, frequency band, brain anatomy remains an open question. In this study, we reanalyzed intracranial recordings from thirty subjects implanted with electrocorticography (ECoG) grids left cerebral hemisphere, drawn existing open-access ECoG database. Participants passively watched a movie where visual scenes were accompanied either music or stimuli.

Acquiring a second language is challenging but vital task to thrive in today’s society. Children’s exposure English as foreign from early age has become norm, which, however, faces several obstacles. In this regard, the use of music could be suitable tool ensure successful acquisition. Through ethnographic research, carried out at Bambini Bicocca Infant School, it was possible understand impact on More precisely, harmony with existing literature, research highlighted vocabulary retention, phonological awareness and emotional state.

Abstract Syntax and prediction are fundamental elements supporting the processing of language music. Implicitly learned syntactic rules principles allow perceivers to form expectations (or predictions) about combination individual elements, resulting in facilitated upcoming expected events. The current chapter discusses syntax (in broad sense structured, system-based combinations events) music, including an outline formal similarities differences between two domains. It presents behavioural neural evidence showing role prediction, for both typical pathological populations as well connections with rhythm processing. Methodological considerations future research investigating music also discussed, perspectives rehabilitation training, notably based on predictive informed by rhythmic

Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) are known for their interest in language and music. As producing comprehending music usually involve a set of similar or comparable cognitive abilities, the music–language relationship might be to better understand WS. We identified, analyzed, synthesized research articles on among individuals Three different databases were searched (SCOPUS, PubMed, PsycInfo). Eight identified after screening, based title, abstract full text. In this integrative–systematic review, we assess methodologies, report findings examine current understanding several subdimensions between language. The suggest that basic musical abilities such as tone, rhythm pitch discrimination correlated verbal skills, particularly prosody. Musical practice seems benefit WS, particular prosody memory. A correlation was also observed emotional responsiveness ability. Further studies needed characterize clinical use could improving prosodic skills memory, which deserves extended experimental investigation.
