Neural entrainment to music is sensitive to melodic spectral complexity

Indiana Wollman, Pablo Arias, Jean-Julien Aucouturier, and Benjamin Morillon

Low-frequency (<10 Hz) cortical neural oscillations are known to entrain to acoustic dynamics -the so-called neural entrainment phenomenon-, but their functional implication in the processing of auditory information remains unclear. In a behavioral and EEG experiment capitalizing on parameterized musical textures, we disentangle the contribution of stimulus dynamics, melodic spectral complexity and emotional judgments on neural entrainment, and highlight their respective spatial and spectral neural signature.
