The paper investigates neural responses to melodic surprise in musicians and non-musicians using IDyOM and MEG, finding that sensory adaptation, not probabilistic prediction, drives the N1m component, while later components reflect auditory regularities and expectations.

The paper shows that predictive uncertainty reduces musical prediction error responses similarly in musicians and non-musicians, suggesting dissociable effects of expertise and stimulus uncertainty.

The paper investigates how learning complex auditory patterns changes brain connectivity in auditory cortex using fMRI and dynamic causal modelling.

The paper investigates how prediction error responses change in musical contexts with varying pitch uncertainty, finding reduced mismatch negativity in high-uncertainty conditions.

The paper shows that individuals with poorer auditory sensitivity show stronger visual enhancement of the auditory mismatch negativity in pitch discrimination.

This study shows that musical expertise leads to more subadditive neural responses to complex auditory stimuli, suggesting more integrative processing of acoustic features.
