Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Effect of Music Listening on Brain Activity Under Anesthesia

Propofol will be administered by intravenous infusion. All anesthesia equipment, supplies, and drugs will be provided by anesthesiologists from the University of Michigan Health System. The researchers will manually control the infusion of propofol to achieve target effect-site concentrations which will be maintained for 4 minutes each. Four types of music, including Jazz, Rock, Pop and Country, will be presented in a pseudo-randomized order. During the behavioral test period, participants will be asked to squeeze an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible grip dynamometer (a rubber ball) for every 10-second periods (96 cycles in total). The beginning of each cycle will be cued with the spoken word "squeeze".
