Abstract
Behavioural experiments have shown an interesting connection between how well one knows something and how much one likes it. This is the so-called mere exposure effect(1). This effect has also been found for music perception(2). However, the neural correlates for the phenomenon are not well understood. Aims The aim of the study is to find the neural correlates of the mere exposure effect for music perception. It is hypothesised that brain activity during melody perception will depend on how well known the melody is. The actual presentation frequency, the memory rating as well as the associated brain activity pattern will correlate with the subjective rating. For seldom heard melodies, many brain regions should show activation, including higher level auditory areas, association areas, and areas supporting a heightened attention function, i.e. primarily in frontal cortex. Well known melodies should activate a lesser total extent of areas, since the cognitive burden will have lightened and become more automatic. Additional brain regions will probably show up for the perception of well known melodies, f.i. memory areas such as the hippocampus. Method
