auditory cortex activation for the
processing of the original music, we showed that BOLD
signals were modulated by alterations of the musical stimuli.
The team focused on the primary
auditory cortex, which is the first cortical region to receive
auditory signals from the ears via other parts of the brain, and the nonprimary
auditory cortex, which plays a more sophisticated role in
processing those stimuli.

signals belong together.

signal processing, investigate music's underlying structure, examining features such as the tone, timbre, and
auditory and rhythmic features of a piece.

signals are detected,
processed, and integrated in the brain.
