Reviews: Brains on Beats

This is an interesting study, following a line of studies in the visual system trying to link the representation of stimuli in different layers of artificial neural networks to the representation in different stages of biological neural processing. The authors claim (and I do not dispute this claim) That this is the first such study in the auditory system, making this study novel and potentially impactful. My main concern is the dimensionality of the comparisons, and in particular the searchlight approach. The images in Figure 1 are indeed compelling, but they have the potential to be misleading. First, us humans tend to look for patterns in images, so it is important to provide more objective summaries.
