Expectation Gates Neural Facilitation of Emotional Words in Early Visual Areas.

abstract：:Neural responses demonstrate evidence of resonance, or oscillation, during the production of periodic auditory events. Music contains periodic auditory events that give rise to a sense of beat, which in turn generates a sense of meter on the basis of multiple periodicities. Metrical hierarchies may aid memory for musi...
