dc.description.abstract
Unintentional timing deviations during musical performance can be conceived of
as timing errors. However, recent research on humanizing computer-generated
music has demonstrated that timing fluctuations that exhibit long-range
temporal correlations (LRTC) are preferred by human listeners. This preference
can be accounted for by the ubiquitous presence of LRTC in human tapping and
rhythmic performances. Interestingly, the manifestation of LRTC in tapping
behavior seems to be driven in a subject-specific manner by the LRTC
properties of resting-state background cortical oscillatory activity. In this
framework, the current study aimed to investigate whether propagation of
timing deviations during the skilled, memorized piano performance (without
metronome) of 17 professional pianists exhibits LRTC and whether the structure
of the correlations is influenced by the presence or absence of auditory
feedback. As an additional goal, we set out to investigate the influence of
altering the dynamics along the cortico-basal-ganglia-thalamo-cortical network
via deep brain stimulation (DBS) on the LRTC properties of musical
performance. Specifically, we investigated temporal deviations during the
skilled piano performance of a non-professional pianist who was treated with
subthalamic-deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) due to severe Parkinson's
disease, with predominant tremor affecting his right upper extremity. In the
tremor-affected right hand, the timing fluctuations of the performance
exhibited random correlations with DBS OFF. By contrast, DBS restored long-
range dependency in the temporal fluctuations, corresponding with the general
motor improvement on DBS. Overall, the present investigations demonstrate the
presence of LRTC in skilled piano performances, indicating that unintentional
temporal deviations are correlated over a wide range of time scales. This
phenomenon is stable after removal of the auditory feedback, but is altered by
STN-DBS, which suggests that cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits
play a role in the modulation of the serial correlations of timing
fluctuations exhibited in skilled musical performance.
