Competition between internal and external sources of information during exercise: influence on RPE and the impact of the exercise load.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the exercise setting on perceived exertion during sustained low and high intensity cycling exercise. METHODS: Thirteen untrained males completed 4 15-min cycling sessions at 50% ...

The musicians brain as a model of neuroplasticity.

Studies of experience-driven neuroplasticity at the behavioural, ensemble, cellular and molecular levels have shown that the structure and significance of the eliciting stimulus can determine the neural changes that result. Studying such effects in ...

Disturbance effect of music on processing of verbal and spatial memories.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the disturbance effect of music on performances of memory tasks. Subjects performed a verbal memory task and a spatial memory task in 4 sound conditions, including the presence of vocal music, instrumental ...

Perceptual judgment of voice pitch during pitch-matching tasks.

This study investigated the perceptual judgment of voice pitch. 24 individuals were assigned to two groups to assess whether there is a difference in perceptual judgment of voice pitch during pitch-matching tasks. Group I, Naïve listeners, had no ...

"Living turned inside out": the musical expression of psychotic and schizoid experience in talking heads Remain in light.

The rock album form, advantageously suited for the artistic expression of intrapsychic experience, has been virtually ignored by analytic writers. Remain in Light by Talking Heads is presented as an example of an album that effectively utilizes the ...

Reduced intracortical inhibition and facilitation of corticospinal neurons in musicians.

Interhemispheric inhibition between motor cortices is reduced in musicians. In the present study we have assessed intracortical inhibition (ICI) and facilitation (ICF) within ipsilateral motor cortex in 15 musicians and 15 non-musician controls. ...

Modeling complex tone perception: grouping harmonics with combination-sensitive neurons.

Perception of complex communication sounds is a major function of the auditory system. To create a coherent precept of these sounds the auditory system may instantaneously group or bind multiple harmonics within complex sounds. This perception strategy ...

Listening to polyphonic music recruits domain-general attention and working memory circuits.

Polyphonic music combines multiple auditory streams to create complex auditory scenes, thus providing a tool for investigating the neural mechanisms that orient attention in natural auditory contexts. Across two fMRI experiments, we varied stimuli and ...

Opera subculture and suicide for honor.

The influence of music-based subcultures on suicidality has been the subject of much debate but little scholarly research.While previous work has documented that suicide is a remarkably frequent cause of death in opera, it has not explored the related ...

Effects of musical training on speech-induced modulation in corticospinal excitability.

We investigated the effect of previous musical training on lateralization of language as indexed by the effects of reading aloud on the modulation of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced in the first dorsal interosseus muscles (FDI) by transcranial ...
