The Cognitive Neuroscience of Music

(Brent) #1

Plate 10 Activations in different subareas of auditory cortex as musicians sight-read a J. S. Bach chorale score
and listen for performance errors in melody, harmony, 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;p0.05) to 4.0 (red;p0.0001).


Plate 11 Activations in superior and middle temporal cortex (A, B, D, and E) and in cerebellum (C and F) as
nonmusicians and musicians discriminate pitch sequences. These images show group mean PET data for each
task (contrasted with rest) overlaid on MRIs. PET data are z-scores displayed on a colour scale ranging from 1.96
(yellow;p0.1) to 4.0 (red;p0.0001).


Plate 12 Activations in left medial frontal cortex (BA 9) for nonmusicians (A) as compared to musicians (B)
during the discrimination of musical tempi. Shown are group mean PET images for each task (contrasted with
rest) overlaid on MRIs.
