Neuroscience of Auditory Perception and Music Cognition II: Neural Oscillations

Building on 451A, this course will review basic knowledge and EEG techniques of neural oscillations related to auditory perception and music cognition via seminar and laboratory work. Through reviewing and replicating findings using classic and recent paradigms, the laboratory exercises offer multiple ways to understand how to design experiments and analyze data to observe neural oscillatory activities in different frequency bands, then interpret their functional significance in sensorimotor processing, attention, and social interaction ¿ important aspects of music listening and performance. Seminar discusses literature in neurophysiology, neuropsychology, and brain-computer interface. Prerequisite: Music 451A or permission of instructor.
