Neural ensembles for music production recruit more language instruments as rhythmic complexity increases

This study maps neural ensembles for language and music production under varying rhythmic complexity and finds that higher complexity engages more language-related brain regions.

Phasor diagrams clock oscillatory hemodynamic switching between overt speech production and micro resting states

This study uses rapid phase-encoded fMRI and phasor diagrams to show dynamic switching between the default mode network and language network during speech production and micro resting states.

Hemodynamic traveling waves transport musical codes faster than language codes via shared bilateral streams

The paper compares the speed of information transfer between music and language using fMRI, finding musical codes travel faster than language codes through shared bilateral brain streams.
