Perceptual and neurophysiological enhancements in linguistic processing in musicians
suggest that domain specific experience may enhance neural resources recruited for …

Musicianship is associated with neuroplastic changes in brainstem and cortical structures,
as well as improved acuity for behaviorally relevant sounds including speech. However …

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

Musical training strengthens speech perception in the presence of background noise. Given
that the ability to make use of speech sound regularities, such as pitch, underlies perceptual …

Auditory experiences including musicianship and bilingualism have been shown to enhance
subcortical speech encoding operating below conscious awareness. Yet, the behavioral …

Musical training is known to modify cortical organization. Here, we show that such
modifications extend to subcortical sensory structures and generalize to processing of …

One of the benefits musicians derive from their training is an increased ability to detect small
differences between sounds. Here, we asked whether musicians' experience discriminating …

Musicians have lifelong experience parsing melodies from background harmonies, which
can be considered a process analogous to speech perception in noise. To investigate the …

Musical training has been demonstrated to benefit speech-in-noise perception. It is however
unknown whether this effect translates to selective listening in cocktail party situations, and if …

Behavioral and neurophysiological transfer effects from music experience to language
processing are well-established but it is currently unclear whether or not linguistic expertise …
