This study replicates Nozaradan et al.'s 2011 findings on neural activity during imagined beat perception, finding smaller effect sizes and no reliable replication of main effects.

This study identifies white matter integrity in the hippocampal cingulum and external capsule as predictors of declining musical reward sensitivity in older adults.

This study compares neural entrainment during live and recorded music performances, finding live performances enhance phase-locking and affective engagement.

This study compares two dynamic functional connectivity methods in musicians, finding increased DMN-VIS and DMN-FPN correlations in improvisational musicians, replicating and expanding previous findings.

This study examines brain network dynamics during music listening in healthy older adults before and after a music-based intervention, finding increased temporal-mesolimbic network occupancy post-intervention.

This study compares graph-theoretical network metrics in younger and older adults during rest and music listening, finding reduced modularity and increased global efficiency in older adults, especially during music listening.

This study compares functional brain network activity and connectivity during music listening and rest between younger and older adults, finding age-related differences in auditory and reward network connectivity.

This study examines brain network dynamics during music listening in younger and older adults, finding age-related differences in network engagement and correlation between liking and familiarity ratings.

This study finds that neural entrainment to musical pulse is preserved in older adults, suggesting potential for music-based interventions in healthy aging.

This study examines how an eight-week music-based intervention affects brain network connectivity in older adults, showing increased functional connectivity between auditory regions and medial prefrontal cortex.

The paper demonstrates that spectral content influences statistical learning of musical scale structure through two experiments with different timbre conditions.

This study shows how musical preference is generated through learned predictions and reward, using novel melodies and fMRI data across multiple studies.

This study investigates how music with specific acoustic properties affects attention in individuals with attentional difficulties, finding that amplitude-modulated music improves sustained attention.

This study evaluates the efficacy of dance intervention for Parkinson's disease, finding improvements in disease severity and sensorimotor coupling linked to prior dance experience.

This study examines functional connectivity in auditory and reward systems in Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and healthy controls using resting-state fMRI.

The paper compares resting state functional connectivity in jazz improvisers, classical musicians, and non-musicians, finding distinct connectivity patterns associated with musical training and improvisation.

The paper examines how white matter connectivity relates to musical improvisation success, finding higher FA in specific brain regions and correlations with creativity metrics.
