Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how auditory experience influences the brain's ability to perceive and process speech, focusing on neural entrainment and neuroplasticity in musicians versus nonmusicians.
- Participants underwent training to identify double-vowel sounds while their brain activity was recorded, revealing that neural synchronization to speech predicted their performance in identifying sounds.
- Results showed that musicians exhibited stronger auditory-motor connectivity in the right hemisphere compared to nonmusicians, and that stronger neural entrainment was linked to incorrect responses, suggesting an important role of brain activity patterns in speech processing.
Plasticity from auditory experience shapes the brain's encoding and perception of sound. However, whether such long-term plasticity alters the trajectory of short-term plasticity during speech processing has yet to be investigated. Here, we explored the neural mechanisms and interplay between short- and long-term neuroplasticity for rapid auditory perceptual learning of concurrent speech sounds in young, normal-hearing musicians and nonmusicians.
