The unexpected creates reward when listening to music | Channels - McGill University - 0 views

  • Using an algorithm, the researchers then determined the reward prediction error for each choice
  • Subjects whose reward prediction errors most closely matched activity in the nucleus accubens also showed the most progress in learning the choices that led to the consonant tones
  • “Our results demonstrate that musical events can elicit formally-modeled reward prediction errors like those observed for concrete rewards such as food or money, and that these signals support learning. This implies that predictive processing might play a much wider role in reward and pleasure than previously realized.”
