We suggest that music perception is an active act of listening, providing an irresistible epistemic offering. When listening to music we constantly generate plausible hypotheses about what could happen next, while actively attending to music resolves the ensuing uncertainty. Within the predictive coding framework, we present a novel formulation of precision filtering and attentional selection, which explains why some lower-level auditory, and even higher-level music-syntactic processes elicited by irregular events are relatively exempt from top-down predictive processes. We review findings providing unique evidence for the attentional selection of salient auditory features. This formulation suggests that 'listening' is a more active process than traditionally conceived in models of perception.
我们认为，音乐感知是一种积极的聆听行为，提供了一种不可抗拒的认知体验。当我们听音乐时，我们会不断生成关于接下来可能发生什么的合理假设，同时积极关注音乐来解决随之而来的不确定性。在预测编码框架内，我们提出了一种新的精度过滤和注意力选择的表述，解释了为什么一些较低层次的听觉，甚至更高层次的音乐句法过程，由不规则事件引发，相对不受自上而下的预测过程的影响。我们回顾了提供独特证据的发现，证明了注意力对显著听觉特征的选择。这种表述表明，“聆听”是一个比传统感知模型中所设想的更为主动的过程。
