Brains on Beats
We developed task optimized deep neural networks (DNNs) that achieved state of the art performance in different evaluation scenarios for automatic music tagging. These DNNs were subsequently used to probe the neural representations of music. Representational similarity analysis revealed the existence of a representational gradient across the superior temporal gyrus (STG) Anterior STG was shown to be more sensitive to low level stimulus features encoded in shallow DNN layers whereas posterior STG was shown to be more sensitive to high level stimulus features encoded in deep DNN layers.
