Encoding of melody in the human auditory cortex

2023-10-19

Abstract excerpt

Melody is a core component of music in which discrete pitches are serially arranged to convey emotion and meaning. Perception of melody varies along several pitch-based dimensions: (1) the absolute pitch of notes, (2) the difference in pitch between successive notes, and (3) the higher-order statistical expectation of each note conditioned on its prior context. While humans readily perceive melody, how these dimen...
