Abstract
Naturalistic music typically contains repetitive musical patterns that are present throughout the song. These patterns form a signature, enabling effortless song recognition. We investigate whether neural responses corresponding to these repetitive patterns also serve as a signature, enabling recognition of later song segments on learning initial segments. We examine EEG encoding of naturalistic musical patterns employing the NMED-T and MUSIN-G datasets. Experiments reveal that (a) training machine learning classifiers on the initial 20s song segment enables accurate prediction of the song from the remaining segments; (b) β and γ band power spectra achieve optimal song classification, and (c) listener-specific EEG responses are observed for the same stimulus, characterizing individual differences in music perception.
