Perceiving pitch absolutely: Comparing absolute and relative pitch possessors in a pitch memory task [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2009 Background The perceptual-cognitive mechanisms and neural correlates of Absolute Pitch (AP) are not fully understood. The aim of this fMRI study was to examine the neural network underlying AP using a pitch memory experiment and contrasting two groups of

On the Perceptual Subprocess of Absolute Pitch
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 Absolute pitch (AP) is the rare ability of musicians to identify the pitch of tonal sound without external reference. While there have been behavioral and neuroimaging studies on the characteristics of AP, how the AP is implemented in human brains ...

Musical pitch identification by absolute pitch possessors [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1988 Musical pitch identification was investigated in two experiments in which absolute pitch (AP) possessors and nonpossessors categorized tones presented in isolation into predetermined pitch classes. Stimuli consisted of 60 different tones per octave (at intervals of 20 cents). The experiments were designed to minimize the possibility that subjects could

Dial A440 for absolute pitch: Absolute pitch memory by non-absolute pitch possessors [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008 Listeners without absolute (or “perfect”) pitch have difficulty identifying or producing isolated musical pitches from memory. Instead, they process the relative pattern of pitches, which remains invariant across pitch transposition. Musically untrained non-absolute pitch possessors demonstrated absolute pitch memory for the telephone dial tone, a ...

Widespread but Limited in Context: Absolute Tuning Judgments are Disrupted by Relative Pitch Cues
Music & Science, 2023 Most listeners exhibit absolute pitch memory for familiar pitched sounds, ranging from simple tones (e.g., the “bleep” used to censor broadcast media) to rich, polyphonic melodies (e.g., excerpts from popular songs).

Commentary on Gruhn et al.'s "How Stable is Pitch Labeling Accuracy in Absolute Pitch Possessors?"
Empirical Musicology Review, 2019 In this commentary, I discuss the results and implications of "How stable is pitch labeling accuracy in absolute pitch possessors?" by Gruhn, Ristmägi, Schneider, D'Souza, and Kiilu (2018).

Auditory temporal resolution and backward masking in musicians with absolute pitch
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Among the many questions regarding the ability to effortlessly name musical notes without a reference, also known as absolute pitch, the neural processes by which this phenomenon operates are still a matter of debate.

Retained absolute pitch after selective amygdalohippocampectomy
Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2020 This study assessed the pre-operative chronic condition and effect of epilepsy surgery in a 21-year-old Japanese woman with drug-resistant right temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). For this patient, it was crucially important to preserve language and her music
