Cognitive neuroscientists used deep brain stimulation to disrupt participants' memories of a recently learned melody, thus implicating the right parietal lobe as an area critical to music perception. Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Our susceptibility to musical imagery indeed requires exceedingly sensitive and refined systems for perceiving and remembering music. It is connected only with rational side of human being. Is the last statement true?

A researcher uses an experimental design to study the effect of music on memory. In this experiment, the Independent Variable is:a. musicb. memoryc. both music and memoryd. neither music nor memory

Dr Anita Hill's TedEx lesson refers to music listening and playing as “fireworks going off in our brain”. Which summary best describes what happens in our brains when we make music?Group of answer choicesThe brain lights up when listening to and playing music because music engages almost every area of the brain simultaneously. The motor, visual, and auditory cortices are strengthened by structured music listening and practice. This is why musicians can transfer their executive functioning skills developed through practice to other activities.Music activates neural networks across both hemispheres in the brain. When listening to music, our auditory cortex lights up and sends messages to all of the other cortices, allowing the transfer of information across the hemispheres through the corpus callosum. When playing music, the motor cortex is most actively engaged which in turn engages our executive function.Listening to and playing music requires the brain to process a wide range of information very quickly. Playing music engages almost every area of the brain simultaneously, including the motor, auditory, and visual cortices. Specifically, playing music activates fine motor skills and other skills located in both brain hemispheres, increasing volume and activity in the bridge between the two hemispheres.Music activates a wide range of areas across both hemispheres of the brain. Both listening to and playing music requires an understanding of the emotional content of music, which increases our levels of executive function. This strengthens the corpus callosum and allows messages to transfer quickly between the left and right brain hemispheres.

Based on the information presented by our experts, which of the following statements detailing our current understanding of the representation of music and language functions in the brain is FALSE?Group of answer choicesThere have been reports of cases presenting with impaired musical processing with intact language function, which suggests that music and language have distinct neural mechanisms.A number of neuroimaging studies have shown significant overlap of activation in brain regions such as auditory cortices, supplementary motor areas during language and musical listening tasks, which has been taken as evidence of sharing of music and speech processing.fMRI studies have reported shared activation patterns involving the frontal cortical regions for perception of speech and for songs with and without lyrics.There is evidence of shared neural activation during melodic and sentence generation as well as evidence that left hemisphere favours processing of language during sentence generation.
