The human brain tracks regularities in the environment and extrapolates these to predict future events. Prior work on music cognition suggests that low‐frequency (1–8 Hz) brain activity encodes melodic predictions beyond the stimulus acoustics. Building on this work, we aimed to disentangle the freq...
