Dansk studie afslører: Hjernen ændrer sig på 3 måder, når du hører musik

Hjerneforskere fra Aarhus Universitet kaster lys over hjernens netværk, når vi hører lyde og musik. Det kan potentielt gøre os bedre til at screene for blandt andet demens i fremtiden, håber de.

🧠 New preprint!
How does the brain predict complex patterns in sound vs. vision?
Using MEG & matched auditory/visual sequences, we reveal distinct and shared brain networks for recognising temporally structured stimuli.

Congratulations 🙌 Leonardo!

Leonardo Bonetti @leonardobonetti.bsky.social · Jun 28

Honored to receive the Sapere Aude: DFF Research Leader grant (~830.000EUR) 🙏
The project will explore how the brain supports memory and sequence prediction using multi-scale neurophysiology and advanced analytics like our Network Estimation via Source Separation (NESS) 🧠

How does aging affect how we remember and compare sounds? Our new study reveals key EEG markers linked to auditory short-term memory and dissimilarity perception across age groups. Read in Eur J Neurosci: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

EEG Correlates of Auditory Short‐Term Memory and Dissimilarity Perception in Young and Older Adults

In this study, we investigated auditory short-term memory for five-pitch sequences in a group of young adults and a group of older adults. The evaluation of dissimilarity between two pitch sequences ....

Working Memory Predicts Long‐Term Recognition of Auditory Sequences: Dissociation Between Confirmed Predictions and Prediction Errors

Memory is a crucial cognitive process involving several subsystems: sensory memory (SM), short-term memory (STM), working memory (WM), and long-term memory (LTM). While each has been extensively stud....

1/n 🔍 At the core of FREQ-NESS is Generalized Eigendecomposition (GED) - a powerful linear decomposition technique that allows us to separate overlapping neural processes based on their dominant frequency, by contrasting narrowband vs broadband activity. #Neuroscience #FREQNESS

🧘‍♂️ During rest, FREQ-NESS reliably separates well-known resting state brain networks — the Default Mode Network, alpha-band parieto-occipital, and motor-beta sensorimotor topographies. Textbook configurations emerge directly from the data and based on frequency, without predefining regions.
