Text-to-music generation models capture musical semantic representations in the human brain.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aligning brain activity with machine-learning models offers a way to understand how the brain represents the world, and such models relate to the brain. In this paper, we explore the functional correspondence between music-specific information and brain activity. Using fMRI, we reconstruct music either via retrieval or by conditioning the MusicLM generator on brain data. The generated music resembles the musical stimuli that human subjects experienced with respect to semantic properties such as genre, instrumentation, and mood. Using an encoding modeling analysis, we also demonstrate that semantic information derived from music, as well as information derived from purely textual descriptions of music stimuli, are represented in a largely overlapped region around the auditory cortex. Furthermore, we show that features from MusicLM predicted brain activity within the primary auditory cortex more accurately than the non-music models that do not specifically focus on music.
