The evolutionary neuroscience of musical beat perception: the Action Simulation for Auditory Prediction (ASAP) hypothesis (2013, background): “Those interested in possible roles the mirror system may play in music processing may consult (Koelsch, 2012, Ch. 11) for a brief review.”
From everyday emotions to aesthetic emotions: towards a unified theory of musical emotions. (2013, methodology): “…of mechanisms has been the rule rather than the exception, the problem has been particularly salient in studies that involve psychophysiological indices and brain imaging (for overviews, see Hodges, 2010, and Koelsch, 2012, respectively), which have yielded notoriously inconsistent findings so far.”
Background music can aid second language learning (2014, background): “The proffered explanation was that musically trained adults recruit more overlapping cognitive networks when processing language and music (Koelsch, 2012; Patel, 2008) and therefore experience an enhanced dual-task decrement when attempting to process from the two different streams at the same time.”
