Same or different pitch? Effects of musical expertise, pitch difference, and auditory task on the pitch discrimination ability of musicians and non-musicians
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Experimental Brain Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00221-019-05707-8
Abstract: 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 processing advantages at the neural level. 50… read more here.

Subcortical and cortical correlates of pitch discrimination: Evidence for two levels of neuroplasticity in musicians

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.07.057
Abstract: &NA; Musicians are highly trained to discriminate fine pitch changes but the neural bases of this ability are poorly understood. It is unclear whether such training‐dependent differences in pitch processing arise already in the subcortical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.10.007
Abstract: Abstract Musical sounds, along with speech, are the most prominent sounds in our daily lives. They are highly dynamic, yet well structured in the temporal domain in a hierarchical manner. The temporal structures enhance the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.paid.2020.110573
Abstract: Abstract Several studies have documented personality differences between musicians and non-musicians, and there have also been reports of personality differences between musicians playing different instruments. However, the samples have been small and findings are often… read more here.

Variations on the theme of musical expertise: cognitive and sensory processing in percussionists, vocalists and non‐musicians
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "European Journal of Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.1111/ejn.13535
Abstract: Comparisons of musicians and non‐musicians have revealed enhanced cognitive and sensory processing in musicians, with longitudinal studies suggesting these enhancements may be due in part to experience‐based plasticity. Here, we investigate the impact of primary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.4987756
Abstract: Emotions can be conveyed through a variety of channels in the auditory domain such as the human voice or music. Recent studies suggest that expertise in one sound category can impact the processing of emotional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.5014569
Abstract: This study evaluated the role of active musical training on procedural learning during a pitch perception, memory, and matching task. Twenty-one adults with hearing within normal limits were split into music subgroups (musician and non-musicians)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.5014869
Abstract: This study explores whether musicians have an advantage over non-musicians in processing and comprehending 8-channel vocoded speech, spectrally degraded speech that imitates cochlear implant output (see Loebach, Bent, & Pisoni, 2008). Musicians and non-musicians completed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/00238309211049458
Abstract: Musical experience facilitates speech perception. French musicians, to whom stress is foreign, have been found to perceive English stress more accurately than French non-musicians. This study investigated whether this musical advantage also applies to native… read more here.
