Interaction between Syntax Processing in Language and in Music: An ERP Study (2005, methodology): “Similar activations of the inferior fronto-lateral cortex have been reported by functional imaging studies investigating the processing of musical structure (Patel, 2003; Tillmann, Janata, & Bharucha, 2003; Janata et al., 2002; Koelsch, Gunter, von Cramon, et al., 2002; Parsons, 2001; Platel et al.,”
Adults and children processing music: An fMRI study (2005, background): “Activations of these regions have been reported in some previous functional imaging studies on auditory processing using musical stimuli (e.g., Janata et al., 2002a,b; Koelsch et al., 2002a; Maess et al., 2001; Parsons, 2001; Platel et al., 1997, 2003; Tillmann et al., 2003), linguistic stimuli…”
The gateway hypothesis of rostral prefrontal cortex (area 10) function. (2007, background): “m Medial rostral regions often show decreased activation in conditions that require goal-directed thought (Raichle, 1998; Raichle et al. 2001) n Medial rostral regions show BOLD increases associated with attending to stimuli in the external world ( Janata et al. 2002; Small et al. 2003).”
Modularity of music processing (2003, background): “In a recent functional neuroimaging study, Janata and collaborator”
The Cognition of Tonality – as We Know it Today (2004, methodology): “A final study that should be mentioned before summarizing is that of Janata et al. (2002). They analyzed the brain activity of musicians as they performed two music perception tasks requiring them to detect a deviant timbre and notes that violated the local tonality.”
Window of Opportunity? Adolescence, Music, and Algebra (2010, background): “…complex mathematical computation (Menon et al., 2000), whereas other data have shown that the prefrontal cortex responds to tonal discrepancies or dissonant music in both musically experienced and nonexperienced participants (Blood, Zatorre, Bermudez, & Evans, 1999; Janata et al., 2002).”
Functional Specialization within Rostral Prefrontal Cortex (Area 10): A Meta-analysis (2006, background): “Both of these studies revealed activation in medial BA 10 associated with tasks involving attention toward perceptual information (see also Gilbert, Simons, et al., 2006; Janata et al., 2002, for further examples).”
The rewards of music listening: Response and physiological connectivity of the mesolimbic system (2005, background): “We also noted right MTG/ STG connectivity with the NAc, which we attribute to the reward aspect of recognizing highly schematized tonal structures (Janata et al., 2002; Tillmann et al., 2003; Zatorre et al., 1994).”
Musical structure is processed in "language" areas of the brain: a possible role for Brodmann Area 47 in temporal coherence (2003, background): “In a recent study of musical processing, Janata et al. (2002) investigated the cortical topography of musical keys by playing experimental participants a specially designed musical sequence that navigated through all 24 major and minor keys.”
