用四通道脑电设备解码真实音乐中的听觉注意力,效果优于以往方法。

Decoding Selective Auditory Attention to Musical Elements in Ecologically Valid Music Listening

  • 用四电极消费级EEG设备在真实音乐聆听中解码注意力
  • 跨新歌曲与新被试的解码准确率优于现有方法
  • 为音乐教育、个性化推荐和疗愈应用提供可能

艺术长期深刻影响人类情感、认知与行为。尽管视觉艺术可通过眼动追踪揭示专家与新手的注视差异,但听觉艺术尚缺乏客观量化聆听注意力的工具。音乐作为现代生活与文化的核心,仍无可靠手段衡量自然聆听中的感知焦点。本文首次尝试利用自然录制的流行歌曲和仅四个电极的消费级脑电设备,解码对音乐元素的选择性注意力。通过分析真实音乐聆听中的神经响应,验证了在降低参与者负担并保持音乐体验真实性条件下的可行性。贡献包括:(i)在真实制作歌曲中解码音乐注意力;(ii)证明四通道消费级EEG的可行性;(iii)提供音乐注意力解码的洞见;(iv)模型性能超越先前工作。结果表明,该方法不仅适用于新歌曲,也能跨被试实现解码,且在测试条件下优于现有方法。研究显示,消费级设备可稳定捕捉有效信号,神经解码在真实场景中具备可行性,为教育、个性化音乐技术及治疗干预开辟新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Art has long played a profound role in shaping human emotion, cognition, and behavior. While visual arts such as painting and architecture have been studied through eye tracking, revealing distinct gaze patterns between experts and novices, analogous methods for auditory art forms remain underdeveloped. Music, despite being a pervasive component of modern life and culture, still lacks objective tools to quantify listeners' attention and perceptual focus during natural listening experiences. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to decode selective attention to musical elements using naturalistic, studio-produced songs and a lightweight consumer-grade EEG device with only four electrodes. By analyzing neural responses during real world like music listening, we test whether decoding is feasible under conditions that minimize participant burden and preserve the authenticity of the musical experience. Our contributions are fourfold: (i) decoding music attention in real studio-produced songs, (ii) demonstrating feasibility with a four-channel consumer EEG, (iii) providing insights for music attention decoding, and (iv) demonstrating improved model ability over prior work. Our findings suggest that musical attention can be decoded not only for novel songs but also across new subjects, showing performance improvements compared to existing approaches under our tested conditions. These findings show that consumer-grade devices can reliably capture signals, and that neural decoding in music could be feasible in real-world settings. This paves the way for applications in education, personalized music technologies, and therapeutic interventions.
