Musical training enhances auditory-motor cortex coupling, which in turn facilitates music and
speech perception. How tightly the temporal processing of music and speech are intertwined …

Musical training is associated with behavioral and neurophysiological enhancements in
auditory processing for both musical and nonmusical sounds (eg, speech). Yet, whether the …

Previous studies have reported better speech-in-noise (SIN) recognition in musicians
relative to nonmusicians while others have failed to observe this “musician SIN advantage.” …

Purpose: This study investigates how Cantonese language experience influences the
potential effects of (a) musicianship and (b) musical ability on English stress perception …

This cluster randomized controlled trial provides evidence that focused musical instrumental
practice, in comparison to traditional sensitization to music, provokes multiple transfer effects …

Objectives: Speech comprehension under “cocktail party” scenarios deteriorates with age
even in the absence of measurable hearing loss. Musical training is suggested to counteract …

Studies suggest that long-term music experience enhances the brain's ability to segregate
speech from noise. Musicians'“speech-in-noise (SIN) benefit” is based largely on perception …
