JBBS The Lateral Occipital Complex Is Activated by Melody with Accompaniment: Foreground and Background Segregation in Auditory Processing Masayuki Satoh1, Katsuhiko Takeda2, Ken Nagata3, Hidekazu Tomimoto4 1Department of Dementia Prevention and Therapeutics, Graduate School of Me di ci ne, Mie University, Tsu, Japan 2Department of Neurology, Mita Hospital, International Medicine and Welfare University, Tokyo, Japan 3Department of Neurology, Research Institute for Brain and Blood Vessels, Akita, Japan 4Department of Neurology, Grad u at e Sch ool of Me di ci ne , Mie University, Tsu, Japan E-mail: bruckner@clin.medic.mie-u.ac.jp Received February 21, 20 1 1; revised April 13, 2011; accepted May 15, 2011 Abstract Objective: Most of the western music consists of a melody and an accompaniment. The melody is referred to as the foreground, with the accompaniment the background. In visual processing, the lateral occipital com- plex (LOC) is known to participate in foreground and background segregation. We investigated the role of LOC in music processing with use of positron emission tomography (PET). Method: Musically naïve sub- jects listened to unfamiliar novel melodies with (accompaniment condition) and without the accompaniment (melodic condition). Using a PET subtraction technique, we studied changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during the accompaniment condition compared to the melodic condition. Results: The accompany- ment condition was associated with bilateral increase of rCBF at the lateral and medial surfaces of both oc- cipital lobes, medial parts of fusiform gyri, cingulate gyri, precentral gyri, insular cortices, and cerebellum. During the melodic condition, the activation at the anterior and posterior portions of the temporal lobes, me- dial surface of the frontal lobes, inferior frontal gyri, orbitofrontal cortices, inferior parietal lobules, and cerebellum was observed. Conclusions: The LOC participates in recognition of melody with accompaniment, a phenomenon that can be regarded as foreground and background segregation in auditory processing. The fusiform cortex which was known to participate in the color recognition might be activated by the recogni- tion of flourish sounds by the accompaniment, compared to melodic condition. It is supposed that the LOC and fusiform cortex play similar functions beyond the difference of sensory modalities.

Introduction The human visual cortex contains many areas whose functional characteristics, connectivity, and anatomy have been extensively documented [1]. Several studies have revealed the brain regions in association with recognition of the segregation between foreground and background [1,2]. Malach et al. reported a cortical region that re- sponded more strongly when subjects passively viewed photographs of objects than when they viewed visual textures [3]. This region, which is located on the lateral bank of the fusiform gyrus extending ventrally and dor- sally, is named the lateral occipital complex (LOC) [2]. The LOC is thought to participate in the recognition of subjective contours involved in visual segregation be- tween foreground and background, that is the figure as the foreground and the texture as the background [1]. Hasson et al. used a modified Rubin face-vase illusion (in which subjects perceived either a face or a vase) and reported that activation of the LOC correlated with times during which subjects reported they saw a face [4]. A study revealed that the LOC and cortex in its vicinity were activated more strongly when subjects touched ob- jects than when they touched textures [5]. Thus, the LOC M. SATOH ET AL. Copyright © 2011 SciRes. JBBS 95 might constitute a neural substrate for convergence of multi-m odal object representat i on [2] . Most songs in modern western music consist of a melody and accompaniment. Even if the melody and ac- companiment are played by the same instrument (namely, sounds in the same timber) and even if they have a simple and almost equal rhythm (such as a chorale with the melody in the top part, supporting lines in the others, and a regular harmonic tread) [6], we can identify the melody from the accompaniment easily and effortlessly. The cog- nitive processing of that auditory identification is re- ferred to as foreground-background processing [7]. The melody is referred to as the foreground, with the accom- paniment the background. When we listen to music con- sists of a melody and an accompaniment, the segregation between them is automatically performed. If the LOC participates in foreground and background segregation not only in visual and somatosensory but also in auditory processing, it is likely that the LOC is activated when subjects listen to music consisting of a melody and ac- companiment. In order to examine this hypothesis, we carried out a positron emission tomography (PET) acti- vation study involving music perception. Musically naïve subjects listened to unfamiliar melodies with and without an accompaniment, and, using PET subtraction technique, the brain regions that were significantly activated by the accompaniment were identified. 2. Subjects and Methods 2.1. Subjects Nine right-handed male volunteers (mean age 21.2 years; range 20 - 26), participated in the study. All were stu- dents at the Schools of Engineering or Mining, Akita University, and met criteria for Grison’s second level of musical culture [8]. None had received any formal or private musical education, and none had any signs or history of neurological, cardiovascular or psychiatric disease. All subjects gave written informed consent after the purpose and procedure of the examination had been fully explained. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Research Institute fo r Brain and Blood Vessels, Akita, Japan, and all experiments were con- ducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. 2.2. Task Procedures The stimuli in this experiment were three new melodies that had been composed by one of the authors. All pieces were twenty-four bars in length and consisted of six phrases, or subdivisions, of a melodic line. All musical stimuli were played using a YAMAHA PSR-330 synthe- sizer set to piano-tone and recorded on a mini-disc. For each melody, following two tasks were performed: A) Melodic condition: as musical stimuli, melodies without the accompaniments were used. B) Accompaniment con- dition: For each melody, chords consisting of two tones and kept in harmony with the original melody were added. Two conditions were randomly represented. Sub- jects were instructed to listen to each melody, and PET measurements were obtained during this period (closely shown in the below). As behavior measures of perform- ance, subjects were required to make a sign with the in- dex finger of the right hand if they regarded some length of the tonal sequen ce as one phrase, that is a subdivision of a melodic line. All stimuli were presented randomly and binaurally via inset stereo-earphones. The instruction for both conditions was as follows: Close your eyes. You will listen to a melody. If you re- gard some length of tonal sequence as one phrase, please make a sign with the index finger of your right hand. 2.3. Positron Emission Tomography Measurements The protocol used in this study has been previously de- scribed in detail [9-11]. Briefly, PET data were acquired in 3-D acquisition mode using Headtome V (Shimazu, Kyoto, Japan). Scans were performed in a darkened room with subjects lying supine with eyes closed. Six CBF measurements were determined for each subject, three during the melodic condition and three during the ac- companiment condition. Employing 15O labeled water (15 2 HO ) intravenous bolus technique [12], emission data were collected for 90 seconds in each measurement fol- lowing intravenous bolus injection of about 15 mL (40 mCi) 15 2 HO . Each piece of music was started 15 seconds prior to data acquisition, repeated two times, and contin- ued for about 120 seconds. Emission data were corrected for attenuation by acquiring 10 minutes of transmission data utilizing a 68Ge orbiting rod source performed prior to the activation scans. A wash-out period of approxi- mately 10 minutes was allowed between successive scans. For anatomic reference, all subjects underwent axial T1- weighted imaging (T1WI) and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) using a 1.5T magnetic resonance system (Vision, Siemens, Germany). T1WI (TR/TE = 665/14 ms) and T2WI (TR/TE = 3600/96 ms) were obtained using a slice thickness of 5 mm with an interslice gap of 1 mm. 2.4. Data Analysis PET data analysis was performed on a SGI Indy running IRIX 6.5 (Silicon Graphics, California), using an auto- mated PET activation analysis package [13] composed of M. SATOH ET AL. Copyright © 2011 SciRes. JBBS 96 six main processing stages that has been previously de- scribed in detail [9-11]. The six main stages consisted of intra-subject co-registration; intra-subject normalization; automatic detection of th e AC-PC line; detection of mul- tiple stretching points and surface landmarks on intra- subject averaged image sets; inter-subject summation and statistical analyses; and sup erimposition of statistical results onto the stereotactic MRI. Deformation of indi- vidual brains to correspond with the standard atlas brain was achieved by spatially matching individual landmarks to the corresponding predefined standard surface land- marks and minimizing correlation coefficients of re- gional profile curves between the stretching centers. Ac- tivation foci were cons idered to be significan tly activated if the corresponding P-value was less than a pre-deter- mined threshold (P < 0.01, Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, 117,882 pixels). Anatomical iden- tification of activation foci was achiev ed by referring the stereotactic coordinates of the peak activated pixels to the standard Talairach brain atlas [14]. 3. Results For behavioral measures of performance for the melody and accompaniment conditions, the mean correct re- sponse was almost 93% ± 6.3 (mean ± standard deviation) for both conditions. We conclude that subjects performed experimental tasks reasonably well. The results of sub- tractions in terms of significant regions activated during each condition are given in Tables 1 and 2 and Figures 1 and 2. The regions activated during the accompaniment condition, but not during the melod ic condition are listed in Table 1 together with stereotactic coordinates based on the brain atlas of Talairach an d Tournoux [14]. These results show areas of relative blood flow changes that emphasize differences between the two conditions and minimize areas that are common to both conditions. Sig- nificant increases of relative cortical blood flow were found in the lateral and medial surfaces of both occipital lobes, medial parts of fusiform gyri, cingulate gyri, pre- central gyri, insular cortices, and cerebellum (Figure 1).

The melodic condition produced significantly greater ac- tivation bilaterally than the accompaniment task in the anterior and posterior portions of the temporal lob es, me- dial surface of the frontal lobes, inferior frontal gyri, or- bitofrontal cortices, inferior parietal lobules, and cere- bellum (Figure 2, Table 2). 4. Discussion 4.1. Lateral Occipital Complex (LOC) Participation in the Segregation between Melody and Accompaniment For the current study, we suppose that the LOC has a relationship with the segregation between foreground and background not only in visual and somatosensory, but also in auditory processing. In our experiment, the lateral surface of the occipital lobe which contained the regions of the LOC and its vicinity was activated during listening to the melody with accompaniment, but not to the melody without accompaniment. In reported litera- tures, the activation of this region was also observed in listening to a popular song with an accompaniment of Schmithorst’s experiment [15]. Using functional mag- netic resonance imaging (MRI), Schmithorst investigated the activated brain regions when subjects listened to po- pular melodies with or without harmonized accompa- niment [15]. Compared with the latter condition, the former (namely, melody with accompaniment) bilaterally activated the inferior occipital and fusiform gyri, which seemed to contain the regions of the LOC and its vicinity. These regions were similar to the brain regions activated M. SATOH ET AL. Copyright © 2011 SciRes. JBBS 98 Figure 1.

They did not denote the accurate function of these brain regions, and not mention cognitive processing of the segregation between melody and accompaniment. Using 15O-water PET, Brown et al. [16] studied the song system of human brain: singing repetitions of novel melodies and singing harmonizations with novel melodies. Comparing the rest condition, the latter task showed the bilateral activation of frontal op- erculums, anterior portion of temporal lobes, superior temporal gyri, and right ventral occipito-temporal cortex which belonged to the LOC. The authors presented the activation of ventral occipito-temporal cortex only on their figure, and they did not mention it on the table and in discussion. From the results of Schmithorst’s [15], Brown’s [16], and the present study, we may say that the LOC might participate in recognition of melody as the foreground and the accompaniment as the background. To the best of our knowledge, there was no case report which described the impairment of the segregation be- tween melody and accompaniment due to the lesion of Figure 2. Activation maps for the subtraction of the melodic versus accompaniment condition. Areas of significant acti- vation (p < 0.001) are superimposed onto the surface maps of the averaged MR imaging of the brains of nine subjects. Anterior and posterior portions of the temporal lobes, me- dial surface of the frontal lobes, inferior frontal gyri, orbi- tofrontal cortices, inferior parietal lobules, and cerebellum were bilaterally activated. Details as for Figure 1. the LOC. Such case studies will ascertain the multi-mo- dal function of the LOC of foreground and background segregation. Someone may ask, “Is it possible that the LOC par- ticipates in perception of harmony?” The brain regions which participate in the perceptio n of harmony remained unclear, but, based on the results of a previous PET acti- vation study [10], we can reply in the negative. That study evaluated which brain regions were activated when subjects listened to the soprano part or harmony of new identical musical pieces [10]. When listening to the so- prano part was compared with listening to the harmony, there was significantly greater activation bilaterally in the lateral occipital lobes, which con tain the LOC. While listening to the harmony, the anterior portions of both temporal lobes were activated, but not the LOC. So, we may say that during listening to the soprano part the LOC played a role in recognition of melody as the fore- ground and accompaniment of the harmony as the back- ground, results that are consistent with those of the pre- sent study. As closely discussed below, the comparison between the accompaniment and a passive resting condi- tion might be needed to settle this problem. M. SATOH ET AL. Copyright © 2011 SciRes. JBBS 99 The fusiform cortex is known to participate in color recognition from case [17] and PET activation studies [18]. The sound of the melody and accompaniment is richer, in other words flourisher, than that of the melody without accompaniment. The fusiform cortex might be activated by recognition of rich sounds that were repre- sented by the accompaniment condition of our present and Schmithorst’s [15] study. We may say that, in the human brain, some neural substrates of association cor- tices, for example the LOC and the fusiform cortex, car- ried out the similar functions beyond the difference of sensory modalities. The neurofunctional significance of the insular cortex remains unsettled. The insular cortex has connection with auditory and visual association and somatosensory cortices. The insular cortex may have an important role in multimodal convergence of sensory input [19] and the conscious awareness of feeling emotions [20,21]. In this experiment, this region might participate in the reference of auditory information to the v isual co gn itiv e system via the connection to the auditory and visual association cor- tices, and in the emotion which was induced by the flourish sound by the harmony of the accompaniment. Activation of cingulate gyri and cerebellum has been observed in PET activation studies regarding music processing in the brain [9,10,22,23]. To date, anatomical, physiological, and functional neuroimaging studies have suggested that the cerebellum participates in the organi- zation of higher cogn itive functions [24] including music processing [25]. These brain regions might be activated in relation to mental processes to anticipate a new learned task and involve in trying to identify musical stimuli. 4.2. Activated Brain Regions during the Melodic Condition Since the accompaniment condition also contained mel- ody, the significance of the activated regions in the me- lodic condition can not be explained by the presence or absence of melody perception during performances. In the accompaniment condition, the subjects might per- form some different kinds of cognitive processing com- pared to the melodic condition: listened to sound of mu- sic as a whole and segregated the melody and its accom- paniment from that sound. So, it is possible that the de- gree of melody perception can be different between two conditions. Under such a limitation, we tried to discuss below the function of brain regions which activated dur- ing the melodic condition. We hypothesized that during the melodic condition, the temporal and frontal lobes would participate in per- ception of melody and auditory imagery. A previous re- port has pointed out that the anterior portions of the temporal lobes are activated when subjects listen to fa- miliar melodies [11]. In another study of patients who underwent temporal lobectomy for treatment of epilepsy, patients with right or left lobectomy had a deficit in rec- ognition of familiar or unfamiliar melodies [26-28]. In our present experiment, too, the anterior portions of the temporal lobes might have been activated by melody per- ception. We may say that the frontal and posterior portions of the temporal lobes have a relationship with auditory im- agery processing. Using PET, Halpern and Zatorre re- ported that the frontal and posterior superior temporal regions and medial frontal cortices were activated by au- ditory imagery for familiar tunes [29]. Several neuro- imaging studies that used functional MRI and MEG have supported this opinion [30,31]. Thus, activation of poste- rior portions of temporal lobes and frontal regions in our melodic condition might have been caused by the gen- eration of melodic imagery. The inferior parietal lobules with frontal regions might be activated by attention [32 -34]. As for activation of th e cerebellum, its exact function remains unclear. However, the pattern of activation was different between the me- lodic and accompani ment conditions. Ou r results suggest the anatomical localization of higher cognitive functions within the cerebellum. 4.3. The Limitations This study has some limitations. F irst, the comp arison of rCBF between two conditions and the resting state was not carried out, so it could not be concluded whether the results of the study were due to the decrease or the in- crease of rCBF in LOC during the melodic or accompa- niment condition, respectively. It is well known that, in functional neuroimaging data, we often observe activity decreases when the task condition was compared with passive resting state. The presence of such decreases im- plied the existence of a default mode of the brain which might participate in the maintenance of information for interpreting, responding to and predicting environmental demands [35]. But, some researchers suggested that resting scans were likely to be confounded by group dif- ferences in vascular factors or rCBF coupling, and the poorly defined cognitive nature of “rest” offered little that enabled us to distinguish specific psychological and physiological processing [36]. We did not know the lit- erature which reported the decrease of rCBF at the brain regions shown in the present study during performing musical tasks. Much still remains to be done about the interpretation of meaning of resting state in activation study. Second, the subjects were young and male, so it is an M. SATOH ET AL. Copyright © 2011 SciRes. JBBS 100 unsettled question whether the results would be consis- tent across different age and gender groups. And third, the activated brain region during the melodic condition could not be completely determined, since the accompaniment condition also contained the melody. The difference of the activation might be caused by the difference degree of the cognitive processing of melody perception between two conditions. 5. Conclusions The LOC was activated when subjects listened to melody with accompaniment. It has been postulated that the LOC participates in the segregation between foreground and background in visual, somatosensory, and auditory proc- essing. The fusiform cortex might be activated by recog- nition of flourish sound in a manner that is similar with visual processing. During the melodic condition, tempo- ral and frontal lobes were mainly activated. Those re- gions have a relationship with the perception of melody and auditory imagery processing. Additional experiments, especially with passive resting condition, will be neces- sary to completely determine the significance of the ac- tivated brain regions in the present study, and how the same neural substrates carry out the similar functions beyond the difference of sensory modalities. 6.
