Neural Correlates of Boredom in Music Perception

Introduction: Music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. An important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. In this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. Methods: We used EEG recording in nine sub...

Generation of novel motor sequences: The neural correlates of musical improvisation

While some motor behavior is instinctive and stereotyped or learned and re-executed, much action is a spontaneous response to a novel set of environmental conditions. The neural correlates of both pre-learned and cued motor sequences have been previously studied, but novel motor behavior has thus far not been examined through brain imaging. In this paper, we report a study of musical improvisat...

Rainfall-runoff modelling using artificial neural networks (ANNs): modelling and understanding

In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools in order to model complex hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process. In many studies, ANNs have demonstrated superior results compared to alternative methods. ANNs are able to map underlying relationship between input and output data without prior understanding of the process under in...

Neural correlates of motor memory with multiple time scales in sensorimotor adaptation

Recent behavioral studies with computational models have revealed motor memory with multiple time scales in sensorimotor adaptation [1]. However, little has been studied about underlying neural correlates of the motor memory. For this, we designed an even-related fMRI experiment where 21 subjects (15 males and 6 females) learned opposing visuomotor rotation (40 ̊ or -40 ̊) tasks in alternating bl...
