Arcuate fasciculus architecture is associated with individual differences in pre-attentive detection of unpredicted music changes

Author(s): Vaquero L; Ramos-Escobar N; Cucurell D; François C; Putkinen V; Segura E; Huotilainen M; Penhune V; Rodríguez-Fornells A;...

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is an event related brain potential (ERP) elicited by unpredicted sounds presented in a sequence of repeated auditory stimuli. The neural sources of the MMN have been ...

The effects of practice and delay on motor skill learning and retention

Author(s): Savion-Lemieux T; Penhune VB;

The present study assessed the effects of amount of practice and length of delay on the learning and retention of a timed motor sequence task. Participants learned to reproduce ten-element visual sequences by tapping in synchrony with the stimulus. Particip...

The effect of early musical training on adult motor performance: evidence for a sensitive period in motor learning

Author(s): Penhune V; Watanabe D; Savion-Lemieux T;

This experiment demonstrates that musicians who began training before age seven perform better on a rhythmic tapping task than musicians who began after the age of seven, when the two groups are matched for years of experience. These results support the ide...

Performance monitoring in lung cancer patients pre- and post-chemotherapy using fine-grained electrophysiological measures

Author(s): Simó M; Gurtubay-Antolin A; Vaquero L; Bruna J; Rodríguez-Fornells A;

No previous event-related potentials (ERPs) study has explored the error-related negativity (ERN) - an ERP component indexing performance monitoring - associated to cancer and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment in a lung cancer population. The aim of...

White-matter structural connectivity predicts short-term melody and rhythm learning in non-musicians

Author(s): Vaquero L; Ramos-Escobar N; François C; Penhune V; Rodríguez-Fornells A;

Music learning has received increasing attention in the last decades due to the variety of functions and brain plasticity effects involved during its practice. Most previous reports interpreted the differences between music experts and laymen as the result ...

The sensation of groove is affected by the interaction of rhythmic and harmonic complexity

Author(s): Matthews TE; Witek MAG; Heggli OA; Penhune VB; Vuust P;

The pleasurable desire to move to music, also known as groove, is modulated by rhythmic complexity. How the sensation of groove is influenced by other musical features, such as the harmonic complexity of individual chords, is less clear. To address this, we...
