Music-selective neural populations arise without musical training [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2020 We show that music-selective neural populations are clearly present in people without musical training, demonstrating that they are a fundamental and widespread property of the human brain. Additionally, we show music-selective neural populations respond strongly to music from unfamiliar genres as well as music with rhythm but little pitch information,

Music Training, Cognition, and Personality [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Although most studies that examined associations between music training and cognitive abilities had correlational designs, the prevailing bias is that music training causes improvements in cognition. It is also possible, however, that high-functioning children are more likely than other children to take music lessons, and that they also differ in ...

Musical training, neuroplasticity and cognition [PDF]
Dementia & Neuropsychologia, 2010 Abstract The influence of music on the human brain has been recently investigated in numerous studies. Several investigations have shown that structural and functional cerebral neuroplastic processes emerge as a result of long-term musical training, which in turn may produce cognitive differences between musicians and non-musicians.

Lifetime benefits of musical training [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 As we get older, both our bodies and brains find themselves in a constant state of change. While some of these changes are governed by normal developmental and maturational processes, others are experience-dependant and occur as a result of our day-to-day activities.

Music training, music aptitude, and speech perception [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 In a paper published recently in PNAS, Mankel and Bidelman (1) challenge environmental accounts of associations between music training and speech perception. Such accounts claim that music training causes improvements in the neural encoding of speech and in performance on related behavioral tasks (e.g., speech-in-noise test) (2).

The “silent” imprint of musical training [PDF]
Human Brain Mapping, 2015 AbstractPlaying a musical instrument at a professional level is a complex multimodal task requiring information integration between different brain regions supporting auditory, somatosensory, motor, and cognitive functions. These kinds of task‐specific activations are known to have a profound influence on both the functional and structural architecture

Musical training predicts cerebello-hippocampal coupling during music listening. [PDF]
Psychomusicology: Music, Mind, and Brain, 2018 Cerebello-hippocampal interactions occur during accurate spatiotemporal prediction of movements. In the context of music listening, differences in cerebello-hippocampal functional connectivity may result from differences in predictive listening accuracy.

, 2018 Abstract This chapter focuses on the possibility that music training could serve as a type of cognitive training. Music is an interesting potential avenue for cognitive training not only because music learning and processing are likely to draw heavily on executive function abilities, but also because musical experience has its own ...

Music-reading training alleviates crowding with musical notation
Journal of Vision, 2014 Crowding refers to the disrupted recognition of an object by nearby distractors. Prior work has shown that real-world music-reading experts experience reduced crowding specifically for musical stimuli. However, it is unclear whether music-reading training reduced the magnitude of crowding or whether individuals showing less crowding are more likely to ...

Music Training and Nonmusical Abilities
Annual Review of PsychologyMusic training is generally assumed to improve perceptual and cognitive abilities. Although correlational data highlight positive associations, experimental results are inconclusive, raising questions about causality. Does music training have far-transfer effects, or do preexisting factors determine who takes music lessons?
