The model predicts motor cortex activation 20 seconds before the beat drops. Here's what the model sees.
222 timesteps. 20,484 vertices. 6 regions. Correlated with audio + lyrics. Model predictions, not brain recordings.
When Tranchart sings, Auditory rises. When the voice drops, it falls. Volume doesn't matter. Language mirrors Auditory (r = 0.985) — likely a parcellation artifact.
Motor, Prefrontal, and Emotion move as one. Beat drops: all spike. Breakdown: all go negative. Rhythm, cognition, and affect locked together.
At low resolution, Visual seemed to track audio (r = 0.71). At 1-second: r = -0.003. An aggregation artifact. Resolution changes conclusions.
Regions don't cross zero alone. AUD×LNG: 90% together. MOT×EMO: 83%. Motor leads — Emotion follows within 5s in 56% of cases. The groove moves first.
Paris, 2000. A Nile Rodgers riff reborn as French touch. B♭ minor, 129 BPM. No bridge, no key change. The groove never stops.
Seventeen words on repeat. Voice as texture, not narrative. Moroder nod. 500M+ Spotify streams. One perfect song.
TRIBE v2, ~1s resolution, 222 timesteps × 20,484 vertices → 6 regions. 44% unassigned.
Waveform resampled to 222 bins. RMS energy per bin.
63 timed entries. Density per 1s bin, 3s smoothing.
Pearson's r, n=222. Bonferroni-corrected (18 tests).
EEG: 19 electrodes → TRIBE regions. White noise added. Visualization only.
All predicted, not measured. Auditory≈Language (r=0.985) likely a model bias.
