During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen that people can adapt quickly to ensure that their social needs are met after being forced to isolate and socially distance. Many individuals turned immediately to music, as evidenced by people singing from balconies, watching live concerts on social media, and group singing online. In this article, we show how these musical adaptations can be understood through the latest advances in the social neuroscience of music-an area that, to date, has been largely overlooked. By streamlining and synthesizing prior theory and research, we introduce a model of the brain that sheds light on the social functions and brain mechanisms that underlie the musical adaptations used for human connection. We highlight the role of oxytocin and the neurocircuitry associated with reward, stress, and the immune system. We show that the social brain networks implicated in music production (in contrast to music listening) overlap with the networks in the brain implicated in the social processes of human cognition-mentalization, empathy, and synchrony-all of which are components of herding; moreover, these components have evolved for social affiliation and connectedness. We conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic could be a starting point for an improved understanding of the relationship between music and the social brain, and we outline goals for future research in the social neuroscience of music. In a time when people across the globe have been unable to meet in person, they have found a way to meet in the music. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，我们看到人们能够迅速适应，以确保在被迫隔离和保持社交距离后能够满足他们的社交需求。许多人立即转向音乐，例如人们在阳台上唱歌、在社交媒体上观看现场音乐会以及在线合唱等现象就证明了这一点。在本文中，我们展示了如何通过音乐社会神经科学的最新进展来理解这些音乐适应现象——迄今为止，该领域在很大程度上被忽视了。通过简化和综合先前的理论和研究，我们引入了一个大脑模型，该模型阐明了用于人类联系的音乐适应所基于的社交功能和大脑机制。我们强调了催产素的作用以及与奖励、压力和免疫系统相关的神经回路。我们表明，与音乐聆听相比，与音乐创作相关的社交大脑网络与大脑中涉及人类认知——心理化、同理心和同步的社交过程的网络重叠；所有这些都是群居的组成部分；此外，这些组成部分是为了社交联系和联系而进化的。我们得出结论，COVID-19 大流行可能是增进对音乐和社交大脑之间关系的理解的一个起点，我们概述了音乐社会神经科学未来研究的目标。在全球各地的人们无法亲自见面的时候，他们找到了一种在音乐中相聚的方式。（来自 PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
