Background Due to auditory experience, musicians have better auditory expertise than non-
musicians. An increased neocortical activity during auditory oddball stimulation was …

The discrimination of temporal information in acoustic inputs is a crucial aspect of auditory
perception, yet very few studies have focused on auditory perceptual learning of timing …

Previous studies suggest that pre-attentive auditory processing of musicians differs
depending on the strategies used in music practicing and performance. This study aimed at …

Automatic cortical sound discrimination, as indexed by the mismatch negativity (MMN)
component of the auditory evoked potential, is facilitated for familiar speech sounds …

Musical expertise promotes both the perception and the processing of music. The aim of the
present study was to analyze if musicians compared to non-musicians already have auditory …

Phonetic discrimination learning is an active perceptual process that operates under the
influence of cognitive control mechanisms by increasing the sensitivity of the auditory system …

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 …

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

The brain basis behind musical competence in its various forms is not yet known. To
determine the pattern of hemispheric lateralization during sound‐change discrimination, we …

Natural sounds are characterized by complex patterns of sound intensity distributed across
both frequency (spectral modulation) and time (temporal modulation). Perception of these …
