This study shows that phonemes and prosody are processed in parallel rather than sequentially in the brain's speech streams, with prosody showing greater spatial spread.

The paper investigates whether pitch motor areas contribute to prosodic category perception by analyzing neural decoding during singing and prosody identification tasks.

This study finds reduced neural tracking of auditory statistical regularities in adults with dyslexia, linked to poorer spelling skills, suggesting a broader sound structure processing deficit.

The paper compares individual variation in syntax and meter processing in language and music, finding domain-specific differences in how metrical regularity affects syntactic integration.

The paper investigates how the brain translates structural rules into movement sequences during musical performance, identifying the prefrontal cortex as a hub linking abstract rules to concrete actions.

This study shows that stimulating the right frontopolar cortex with tDCS enhances reward-based motor learning by increasing reward expectation and reducing exploration volatility.

This study uses fMRI to investigate brain activity during the generation of new hierarchical levels in motor sequences, finding that it activates a motor planning network without involving lateral prefrontal cortex.
