Brain plasticity allows the central nervous system of a given organism to cope with
environmental demands. Therefore, the quality of mental processes relies partly on the …

Auditory evoked potentials serve as an objective mode for assessment to check the
functioning of the auditory system and neuroplasticity. Literature has reported enhanced …

The study introduces a rhythm memory task and compares performance of musicians and
non-musicians. The rhythm span task with increasing and decreasing sequence length …

Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have suggested that
different cerebral regions preferentially process human voice and music. Yet, little is known …

Musical expertise has been proven to be beneficial for time perception abilities, with
musicians outperforming nonmusicians in several explicit timing tasks. However, it is unclear …

The ability to detect and use information from errors is essential during the acquisition of
new skills. There is now a wealth of evidence about the brain mechanisms involved in error …

Background and Objective The auditory cortex modulates auditory afferents through the
olivocochlear system, which innervates the outer hair cells and the afferent neurons under …

This thesis investigates differences in sound level perception between musicians and
nonmusicians, and whether or not the vestibular system may account for these differences …

Neural oscillations have been proposed as a mechanism for structure building in language
and music. In music, this idea is appealing because of the intuitive mapping between …
