THE present study focuses on influences of long-term experience on auditory processing,
providing the first evidence for pre-attentively superior auditory processing in musicians …

The human central auditory system has a remarkable ability to establish memory traces for
invariant features in the acoustic environment despite continual acoustic variations in the …

In the present study we investigated the capacity of the memory store underlying the
mismatch negativity (MMN) response in musicians and nonmusicians for complex tone …

Professional music conductors are required to home in on a particular musician but at the
same time have to monitor the entire orchestra. It was hypothesized that this unique …

To reveal neurophysiological prerequisites of musicality, auditory event-related potentials
(ERPs) were recorded from musical and non-musical subjects, musicality being here …

Objective: Cortical auditory evoked potentials, including mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3a
to pure tones, harmonic complexes, and speech syllables, were examined across groups of …

By recording auditory electrical brain potentials, we investigated whether the basic sound
parameters (frequency, duration and intensity) are differentially encoded among speech vs …

Instrumental tones and, in some instances, simple sine-wave tones were shown to evoke
stronger auditory-evoked responses in musicians compared to nonmusicians. This effect …

The general aim of this experiment was to investigate the processes involved in reading
musical notation and to study the relationship between written music and its auditory …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) event-related potential (ERP) component is elicited by any
discriminable change in series of repetitive auditory stimuli. MMN is generated by a process …
