The paper investigates the causal role of supplementary motor area (SMA) in groove experience during music listening using transcranial magnetic stimulation and finds that SMA stimulation modulates musical pleasure.

This study develops a neurofeedback system called C-BMI that uses EEG to create personalized playlists enhancing music-induced chills by integrating song preferences and neural responses.

This study shows that musical experience and active engagement predict differences in auditory-motor plasticity induced by paired associative stimulation.

This study develops a groove brain-music interface (G-BMI) using EEG to create personalized playlists that enhance the urge to move by incorporating real-time neurofeedback.

This study shows that recalling positive memories before a performance improves subjective performance achievement, emotional valence, and sympathetic nervous system activity in musicians.

This study investigates how neural entrainment relates to anticipatory processing of musical meter using EEG and dual-meter sound stimuli, finding that entrainment to attended features predicts P300 responses to metrical violations.

This study investigates the relationship between groove experience and neuromelanin levels in the substantia nigra, finding that higher neuromelanin levels and male sex are associated with higher pleasure ratings in younger individuals.

The paper develops a neurofeedback system called N-BMI to personalize nostalgic music recommendations, enhancing nostalgia, well-being, and memory vividness in young and elderly individuals.

The paper shows that consistent spectral cues improve perceptual accuracy in distinguishing subdivided rhythmic patterns, highlighting the role of spectral properties in rhythm perception.
