Graphic abstractДЄltenmГјller E, SchГјrmann K, Lim VK, Parlitz D (2002) Hits to the left, flops to the right: different emotions during listening to music are reflected in cortical lateralisation patterns. These findings may improve conception of the underlying brain mechanism involved in the perception of musical rhythm. These results emphasize the important role of the motor cortical site-fronto-central connections, in the perception of musical rhythmic pattern. Interestingly, the behavioral changes were mainly associated with alteration of brain functional connectivity at the alpha band in the fronto-central connections. In addition, the pattern of brain functional connectivity was also estimated using the weighted phase lag index and their association with behavioral changes was calculated. The behavioral data showed that an increase in the complexity of musical rhythmic patterns significantly enhances perceived valence and arousal levels. The experienced emotions were assessed using a 2-dimensional self-assessment manikin questionnaire. The musical rhythmic patterns were changed by manipulating only note values in beats while keeping time signature and other elements in a fixed state. Therefore, 18 male children aged 10вЂ“14В years old were recruited and exposed to 12 musical excerpts while their brainвЂ™s electrical activity was recorded using a 32-channel EEG recorder. In this study, we hypothesized that changes in musical rhythmic patterns alter the emotional content expressed by music and the way it is perceived, that assumably causes specific changes in the brain functional connectome. Nevertheless, the cognitive process and neural mechanism of the human brain that underlay the perception of musical rhythm are poorly understood. The arrangement of musical notes and their time intervals, also known as musical rhythm is one of the core elements of music.
