Temporal patterns of human cortical activity reflect tone sequence structure
Article Abstract:
There is evidence of a potential neural correlate of the perceptual integration of local and global pitch information. It is suggested that this integration is maximal for melody-like sequences. This research has shown that temporal patterns of activity recorded over specific brain regions follow the pitch contour of tone sequences. The accuracy of tracking improves as tone sequences become more predictable in structure. It was established that dynamic imaging techniques can be a significant complement to metabolic imaging in the mapping of brain activity linked with music perception.

Learning how the brain learns
Article Abstract:
Research in which the activity of many nerve cells was recorded as rats learnt a simple task is discussed. It was established that information may be encoded in groups of cells, by both rate and temporal codes.
