DOI: 10.1007/s00701-021-05009-5
Abstract: Absolute pitch (AP) recognizes and labels the pitch chroma of a given tone without external reference. Its neural mechanism remains unclear. We report a 68-year-old AP musician who developed a left putaminal hemorrhage edematous lesion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2018.08.001
Abstract: ABSTRACT Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify the perceived pitch of a sound without an external reference. Relatively rare, with an incidence of approximately 1/10,000, the mechanisms underlying AP are not well understood.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-38273-0
Abstract: Absolute pitch (AP) is defined as the ability to identify and label tones without reference to keyality. In this context, the main question is whether early or late processing stages are responsible for this ability.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17470218.2015.1131726
Abstract: The ability to recall the absolute pitch level of familiar music (latent absolute pitch memory) is widespread in adults, in contrast to the rare ability to label single pitches without a reference tone (overt absolute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/psyp.14170
Abstract: Absolute pitch (AP) refers to the naming of musical tone without external reference. The influential two-component model states that AP is limited by the late-emerging pitch labeling process only and not the earlier perceptual and… read more here.

Absolute pitch is disrupted by an auditory illusion

DOI: 10.1121/1.4988383
Abstract: Absolute pitch (AP) is the rare ability to name a musical note in the absence of a reference note. Here we show that AP possessors sometimes name notes incorrectly in accordance with an auditory illusion.… read more here.

Speech transformed into song heightens temporal sensitivity but weakens absolute pitch sensitivity

DOI: 10.1121/1.4988453
Abstract: The speech-to-song illusion (STS) is a phenomenon in which some spoken utterances perceptually transform to song via repetition. The existence of utterances that do and do not transform makes it possible to investigate similarities and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1029864916662903
Abstract: Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify and/or produce specific music notes without a reference tone from the Western tonal system. Functional imaging studies show that AP is subserved by a network of interconnected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/10298649221085205
Abstract: Musicologists and philosophers have commonly attributed distinctive qualities to individual musical pitches, and absolute pitch (AP) possessors recognize and recall notes and keys with immediacy and accuracy, leaving little doubt that they are aware of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306974
Abstract: While absolute pitch (AP)—the ability to identify musical pitches without external reference—is rare even in professional musicians, anecdotal evidence and case-report data suggest that some musicians without traditional AP can nonetheless better name notes played… read more here.
