A theory of instrument-specific absolute pitch
While absolute pitch (AP)—the ability to name musical pitches globally and without
reference—is rare in expert musicians, anecdotal evidence suggests that some musicians …

Time to face language: embodied mechanisms underpin the inception of face-related meanings in the human brain
In construing meaning, the brain recruits multimodal (conceptual) systems and embodied
(modality-specific) mechanisms. Yet, no consensus exists on how crucial the latter are for …
