The Biology of Music听
Organizer: Ante L. Padjen
YCLML 829 From Perception to Pleasure: The Neuroscience of Music and Why We Love It (Online)
Time: Friday, September 27, 10:00 a.m.
Presenter: Robert Zatorre, FRSC, PhD
Attendance: Online
Music has existed in human societies since prehistory, likely because it allows the expression and regulation of emotion and evokes pleasure. In this lecture, I will present findings from cognitive neuroscience that bear on the question of how we get from the perception of sound patterns to pleasurable responses.
I will first discuss evidence that corticocortical loops from and to the auditory cortex are responsible for perceptual processes and working memory, sensory-motor, and predictive functions essential to producing and perceiving music. Then, I will discuss neuroimaging and brain modulation studies from our lab focusing on the dopaminergic reward system, its involvement in musical pleasure, and what happens when that system is disrupted.
I propose that pleasure in music arises from interactions between cortical loops that enable expectancies to emerge from perceived sound patterns and subcortical systems responsible for reward and valuation. This model integrates knowledge derived from basic neuroscience of reward mechanisms with independently derived concepts, such as tension and anticipation, from music theory. It may also serve as a way of thinking more broadly about aesthetic rewards.
About the Lecturer
Robert Zatorre was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied music and psychology at Boston University, and obtained his PhD at Brown University, followed by postdoctoral work with Brenda Milner at the Montreal Neurological Institute of 缅北强奸, where he has been ever since, and where he currently holds a Canada Research Chair in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience. His laboratory studies the neural substrates of auditory cognition, especially music. Together with his many students and collaborators he has published over 300 scientific papers on topics including pitch perception, auditory imagery, music production, and brain plasticity. He is perhaps best known for discovering how the brain鈥檚 reward system results in musical pleasure.
In 2006, with Prof Isabelle Peretz he co-founded the international laboratory for Brain, Music, and Sound research (BRAMS), a unique multiuniversity consortium dedicated to the cognitive neuroscience of music. His work has been recognized by several international prizes: including the neuronal plasticity prize from the IPSEN foundation, the Knowles prize in hearing research (Northwestern U), the deCarvalho-Heineken prize in cognitive science (Dutch Academy of Arts and Science, Amsterdam), and the Grand Prix Scientifique from the Institute for Hearing (Paris). In 2023 his book, From Perception to Pleasure. The Neuroscience of Music and Why We Love It, was published by Oxford University Press.
YCLML 830 How Rhythm Structures Experience: From Auditory Perception to Musical Development to Social Interaction (Online)
Time: Friday, October 11, 10:00 a.m.
Presenter: Laurel J. Trainor, PhD, BMus, FRSC, CIFAR
Attendance: Online
Music is based on rhythms. Rhythms are found everywhere in biological systems, from motor movements for locomotion to communication signals such as speech and music.
I will present evidence that infants are sensitive to musical rhythms from before birth and that temporal processing is a general principle of brain functioning. I will also present evidence that auditory-motor interactions for timing are present early in development and that the human auditory system uses the motor system to accomplish rhythmic timing. Finally, I will discuss the social implications of coordinated movements in human interactions, from musical ensembles to pro-social behavior in infants.
About the Lecturer
Laurel Trainor (Ph.D., University of Toronto) is a Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour at McMaster University, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC), Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, a McMaster Distinguished University Professor, and a Research Scientist at the Rotman Research Institute. She was given a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (2022) as well as a YWCA Woman of Distinction Award for Arts Culture and Design. She has published over 160 articles on the neuroscience of auditory development and perception of music () in journals including Science and Nature and co-holds a patent for the Neuro-compensator hearing aid. She has held major grants, including from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, The Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Social Science Research Council of Canada and the Grammy Foundation. Laurel is a frequent keynote speaker at conferences and maintains a high media profile.
She has pioneered the study of musical development, showing that infants acquire the music system of their culture without instruction, just as they acquire language. Her work on rhythm perception shows that listening to a beat activates motor networks in the brain even in the absence of movement, and that this multisensory interaction is reflected in oscillatory networks that can be measured with EEG and MEG. She also studies how predictive processes in rhythms and timing shape communication between people, including between musicians, between musicians and audiences and between infants and caregivers. Her studies show further that synchronous movement to a musical beat increases prosocial behavior even in infants. Laurel is the founding and present director of the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind (MIMM), which houses the LIVELab (), a unique research-concert hall with high acoustic control, that is equipped with multi-person motion capture and EEG (and measurement of other physiological responses) for studying how performers and audiences interact, and how music can be used to promote health and well-being. Laurel also has a Bachelor of Music Performance from the University of Toronto and is currently principal flute of the Burlington Symphony.
YCLML 831 Can Music Be Pathological? (Online)
Time: Friday, November 1, 10:00 a.m.
Presenter: Ante L. Padjen, MD, MSc, DSc
Attendance: Online
There is abundant literature about the positive effects of music on health and well-being. Equally plentiful are reports that music can cause physical and mental illness. Music-induced harm started to be seen as a medical issue two centuries ago. Excessive or wrong type of music could lead to illness, immorality, and occasionally death by overstimulation of the vulnerable nervous system. This idea continued to provide a model for explaining harm caused by music as diverse as Wagner and rock 鈥檔鈥� roll, leading in certain circumstances to the concept of 鈥渄egenerate music.鈥� The excessive stimulation and 鈥渟train of nerves鈥� in the form of brainwashing could lead to mind control, with music becoming a weapon.
I will explore the complex relationship between music and various harmful effects, including physical and physiological harm, adverse impacts on cognitive functioning, aggression, and risk-taking behaviors, affective and interpersonal harm, and even spiritual harm. This variety reflects a multifaceted music experience with numerous sides鈥攃ontextual, deliverer, and music and recipient-based factors. In all these explorations, it is hard to recognize music as a pathogen per se. Rather, the harm depends on the complex interactions between the person's relationship with music, preferences, and moods specific to certain situations.

YCLML 832 Five Decades of Computer Music Interfaces (Online)
Time: Friday, November 8, 10:00 a.m.
Presenter: Marcelo M. Wanderley, BEng, Meng, PhD
Attendance: Online
Computer music interfaces, aka musical interfaces or gestural controllers, have been a topic of interest since the beginning of academic gatherings and journals on computer music, including the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) and the Computer Music Journal (CMJ) established in the mid-1970s. This interest builds upon previous developments in electronic music instruments, which have been proposed for over a century (Chadabe, 1997). The establishment of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) in 2002 has decoupled the number of academic publications in the field from a few hundred to thousands.
In this talk, I will discuss the research on musical interfaces from the late 70s until today, pointing out various trends with more or less longevity that permeate the development of interfaces. Examples include works on interface design and evaluation, as well as tools to help the community navigate among the works published before and around the NIME conference.
About the Lecturer
Marcelo M. Wanderley is Professor of Music Technology at 缅北强奸, Canada. His research interests include the design and evaluation of digital musical instruments and the analysis of performer movements. He has widely published on these topics, with his works being the most cited in the first two decades of the NIME conference (Fasciani & Goode, NIME 2021). He co-edited the electronic book 鈥淭rends in Gestural Control of Music鈥� in 2000, co-authored the textbook, New Digital Musical Instruments: Control and Interaction Beyond the Keyboard, in 2006, and chaired the 2003 International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME03). He held invited research chairs in several European and American institutions, including Inria Lille, France, the University of Mons, Belgium, and the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He is a member of the Computer Music Journal鈥檚 Editorial Advisory Board and a senior member of the ACM and the IEEE.
