Predicting drum beats from high-density Brain Rhythms

Entrainment is a phenomenon of phase or temporal matching of one system with that of another system. Human neural activity has been shown to resonate with external auditory stimuli. When we enjoy a piece of music, there is a resonance of brain responses with auditory signals. The crux of music cognition is based on this resonance of musical...

Human- or Machine-like Music Assistive Robots Effects on Fluency and Memory Recall

Assistive robots are expected to contribute to the solution of major societal problems in healthcare, such as the increasing number of elderly who need informal and professional care over a long period of time. Most of the research focuses on the development of humanlike robots to facilitate human-robot interaction and strengthen the social,...

Stronger correlation of music features with brain signals predicts increased levels of enjoyment

Music recommendation systems struggle with predicting the aesthetic responses of listeners based solely on acoustic characteristics, which are dependent on the listener's perception. This research correlates acoustic music features with brain responses to report the neural aesthetic hypothesis that the intensity of an aesthetic experience can...
