Music‐Evoked Nostalgia Activates Default Mode and Reward Networks Across the Lifespan

Nostalgia is a mixed emotion that is often evoked by music. Nostalgic music may induce temporary improvements in autobiographical memory in individuals with cognitive decline. However, the neural…

A Nostalgia Brain-Music Interface for Enhancing Nostalgia, Well-Being, and Memory Vividness in Young and Elderly Individuals

It is found nostalgic feelings, well-being, and memory vividness were significantly higher after listening to the recommended songs in the nostalgia condition compared to the control condition in both groups, indicating that the N-BMI enhanced nostalgic feelings, well-being, and memory recall across both groups.

A Nostalgia Brain-Music Interface for enhancing nostalgia, well-being, and memory vividness in younger and older individuals

It is found nostalgic feelings, state-level well-being, and subjective memory vividness were significantly higher after listening to the recommended songs in the nostalgic condition compared to the non-nostalgic condition in both groups.

Patterns of brain activity associated with nostalgia: a social-cognitive neuroscience perspective

A neural model of nostalgia is postulated, suggesting that self-reflection, autobiographical memory, regulatory capacity and reward are core components of the emotion and its potential to modulate activity in these core neural substrates has both theoretical and applied implications.

Effects of LSD on music-evoked brain activity

Results showed pronounced cortical and subcortical changes in music-evoked brain activity under LSD, and most notable changes in brain activity and connectivity were associated with the component timbral complexity, representing the complexity of the music’s spectral distribution.

Changes in music-evoked emotion and ventral striatal functional connectivity after psilocybin therapy for depression

Results revealed a significant increase in music-evoked emotion following treatment with psilocybin that correlated with post-treatment reductions in anhedonia, consistent with current thinking on the role of psychedelics in enhancing music- Evoked pleasure.

Thalamocortical Mechanisms for Nostalgia-Induced Analgesia

As a predominately positive emotion, nostalgia serves various adaptive functions, including a recently revealed analgesic effect. The current fMRI study aimed to explore the neural mechanisms…

What makes music memorable? Relationships between acoustic musical features and music-evoked emotions and memories in older adults

The results suggest that music-evoked emotions are strongly related to music- Evoked memories in healthy older adults and that both music-Evoked emotions and memories are predicted by the same core musical features.

When tension is exciting: an EEG exploration of excitement in music

Expectation is important to the induction of musical emotions, in agreement with the ITPRA theory, and activity in the IFG and MFG showed a strong correlation with subjective excitement ratings during Drop apprehension.

Music-evoked nostalgia: affect, memory, and personality.

Nostalgia was stronger to the extent that a song was autobiographically salient, arousing, familiar, and elicited a greater number of positive, negative, and mixed emotions.

Mapping Aesthetic Musical Emotions in the Brain

Functional neuroimaging with parametric analyses based on the intensity of felt emotions reveal a differentiated recruitment across emotions of networks involved in reward, memory, self-reflective, and sensorimotor processes, which may account for the unique richness of musical emotions.

The Neural Architecture of Music-Evoked Autobiographical Memories

It is shown that the dorsal MPFC associates music and memories when the authors experience emotionally salient episodic memories that are triggered by familiar songs from their personal past, and spontaneous activation of an autobiographical memory network in a naturalistic task with low retrieval demands.

Characterisation of music-evoked autobiographical memories

It is shown that excerpts of popular music serve as potent stimuli for studying the structure of autobiographical memories, and several social and situational contexts for memory formation were common across many memories.

Brain correlates of music-evoked emotions

Functional neuroimaging studies on music and emotion show that music can modulate activity in brain structures that are known to be crucially involved in emotion, such as the amygdala, nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus, hippocampus, insula, cingulate cortex and orbitofrontal cortex.

The reliability of continuous brain responses during naturalistic listening to music

Neural systems subserving valence and arousal during the experience of induced emotions.

These findings suggest the existence of distinct networks subserving the valence and arousal dimensions of emotions, with midline and medial temporal lobe structures mediating arousal and dorsal cortical areas and mesolimbic pathways mediating valence.

Emotions evoked by the sound of music: characterization, classification, and measurement.

The authors addressed this question by progressively characterizing music-induced emotions in 4 interrelated studies by introducing a domain-specific device to measure musically induced emotions--the Geneva Emotional Music Scale.

Brain Networks That Track Musical Structure

Very early evidence is emerging from the literature for the hypothesis that the rostral medial prefrontal cortex is a node that is important for binding music with memories within a broader music‐responsive network.
