OBJECTIVE: To examine how auditory brain responses change with increased spectral
complexity of sounds in musicians and non-musicians. METHODS: Event-related potentials …

Musicians have a variety of perceptual and cortical specializations compared to non-
musicians. Recent studies have shown that potentials evoked from primarily brainstem …

MEG responses from musicians who had absolute pitch and from non-musicians were
measured while they received differnt auditory stimuli. The parameters of single equivalent …

Neural coding of auditory stimulus frequency is well-documented; however, the cortical
signals and perceptual correlates of pitch have not yet been comprehensively investigated …

Objective Both behavioral and neural responses to deviant melody endings can be
enhanced through musical training. Yet it is unknown whether there are any differences in …

This study investigates the effects of music training on brain activity to violations of melodic
expectancies. We recorded behavioral and event-related brain potential (ERP) responses of …

Objective: The ability to detect frequency variation is a fundamental skill necessary for
speech perception. It is known that musical expertise is associated with a range of auditory …

The present study investigated the influence of musical expectations on auditory
representations in musicians and non-musicians using magnetoencephalography (MEG) …

In order to find the cortical neural activities that reflect musical processing, we conducted
measurements of MEG responses while subjects listened to familiar melodies. Significant …

Objectives: Recent studies with event-related brain potentials (ERPs) investigating music
processing found (early) negativities with right-hemispheric predominance as a response to …
