Different theta connectivity patterns underlie pleasantness evoked by familiar and unfamiliar music

Abstract Music-evoked pleasantness has been extensively reported to be modulated by familiarity. Nevertheless, while the brain temporal dynamics underlying the process of giving value to music are beginning to be understood, little is known about how familiarity might modulate the oscillatory activi...
