Plate 7 Correlated blood flow activations in right anterior auditory cortex and left cerebellum (see arrows) as
subjects played the Bach score. These are group-averaged PET images for Bach (contrasted with rest) overlaid on
anatomical MRIs. PET data are z-scores displayed on a colour scale ranging from 1.65 (yellow;p0.1) to 4.0 (red;
p0.0001).


Plate 9 Activations in different subareas of a major cytoarchitectonic area of frontal cortex (BA 44) as musicians
sight-read a J. S. Bach chorale score and listen for performance errors in harmony, melody, or rhythm. These are
group mean PET images for each task (contrasted with passive listening control) overlaid on MRIs. PET data are
z-scores displayed on a colour scale ranging from 2.54 (yellow;p0.01) to 4.0 (red;p0.0001).


Plate 8 Significant blood flow activations in the cerebellum as musicians sight- read a J. S. Bach chorale score
and listen for performance errors in harmony, melody, or rhythm. These are group-averaged PET images for each
task (contrasted with passive listening control) overlaid on anatomical MRIs. PET data are z-scores displayed on
a colour scale ranging from 1.96 (yellow;p0.05) to 4.0 (red;p0.0001).
