Grégoire, Perruchet, and Poulin-Charronnat (2013) claimed that the Musical Stroop task, which reveals the automaticity of note naming in musician experts, provides a new tool for studying the development of automatisms through extensive training in natural settings. Many of the criticisms presented in the four commentaries published in this issue appear to be based on a misunderstanding of our procedure, or questionable postulates. We maintain that the Musical Stroop Effect offers promising possibilities for further research on automaticity, with the main proviso that the current procedure makes it difficult to tease apart facilitation and interference.

Coupling neurologic music therapy with immersive virtual reality to improve executive functions in individuals with Parkinson's disease: A Quasi-Randomized Clinical Trial.

Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder causing motor and cognitive issues, and current treatments mainly address symptoms.
- This study explored the combination of Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) with a virtual reality platform called Computer-Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) to enhance rehabilitation for PD patients.
- Results showed significant cognitive improvements in the experimental group using NMT and CAREN, indicating this method could be a more effective way to address cognitive deficits in PD compared to traditional approaches.
Effects of mindfulness-based music listening on conflict control in young adults with insomnia disorder: behavioral and event-related potential evidence.

Introduction: Insomnia Disorder (ID) has become the second most prevalent mental disorder, with significant negative effects on daytime cognitive functions. Previous studies suggested that mindfulness-based music listening (MBML) can effectively improve conflict control and attentional processing in healthy adults. However, the behavioral and neurophysiological characteristics of MBML in young adults with ID remain unclear.

Brightness is among the most studied aspects of timbre perception. Psychoacoustically, sounds described as "bright" versus "dark" typically exhibit a high versus low frequency emphasis in the spectrum. However, relatively little is known about the neurocognitive mechanisms that facilitate these metaphors we listen with.

Increasing evidence suggests that music training correlates with better performance in tasks measuring executive function components including inhibitory control, working memory and selective attention. The Stroop and Simon tasks measure responses to congruent and incongruent information reflecting cognitive conflict resolution. However, there are more reports of a music-training advantage in the Simon than the Stroop task.

Article Synopsis
- Musical instrument training is linked to better academic skills in kids, but access to this training is limited for some, creating disparities.
- A study investigated a digital rhythm game as an alternative to traditional instrument training, showing it could improve reading fluency in children, especially by enhancing their rhythmic timing.
- The findings suggest that while rhythm training benefits reading, it does not significantly affect math skills or other cognitive functions like attention or working memory.
