Article Synopsis
  • Long-term music training enhances the neural processing of sound, particularly in recognizing musical chords, although its effects on complex pitch encoding are not well studied.
  • The study involved young adult participants categorized as musicians or nonmusicians while recording EEG data as they identified musical triads during active and passive listening tasks.
  • Results showed musicians had better accuracy in chord identification, with distinct subcortical and cortical brain responses; musicians maintained consistent neural activity regardless of attention, unlike nonmusicians who showed reduced activity during passive listening.
