Dr. Levitin has some really interesting research on music, but also has some great easier to read books for those of us without a neuroscience degree. My favorite is called this is your brain on music. The world in 6 songs was also a great read.

One model mentioned in the patent uses Nigel Osborne's INRM (Innate Neuro-physiological Response to Music) paradigm to make predictions.
As for those patents, I would caution against interpreting them to mean a person's musical preferences can be inferred or exploited in this way. Merely evoking a physical response is not the same as satisfying a person's preference or desire. Particularly, a physical response can happen in the absence of a person's consent to receive the stimulus, and in rape trials this is legally recognized to exclude evidence of such a physical response from being used by the defense.
