Music training for the development of auditory skills (2010, methodology): “Work on music-evoked ABRs has included a bowed cello note (Musacchia et al. 2007, 2008), a five-note musical melody (Skoe & Kraus 2009), as well as consonant and dissonant two-note intervals synthesized from an electric piano (Lee et al. 2009) and tone complexes (Greenberg et al. 1997; Bidelman &…”
Sound-Induced Enhancement of Low-Intensity Vision: Multisensory Influences on Human Sensory-Specific Cortices and Thalamic Bodies Relate to Perceptual Enhancement of Visual Detection Sensitivity (2010, background): “, 2006) or training-induced plastic changes in speech processing (Musacchia et al., 2007).”
Multisensory Stimulation in Stroke Rehabilitation (2012, background): “One aspect that may be relevant for stroke rehabilitation is that musicians have enhanced subcortical auditory and audiovisual processing of speech and music (Musacchia et al., 2007, 2009).”
Music expertise shapes audiovisual temporal integration windows for speech, sinewave speech, and music (2014, background): “Moreover, viewing the corresponding videos of the musical instrument in action or facial movements enhanced the temporal and frequency encoding in musicians (Musacchia et al., 2007).”
Musical training as a framework for brain plasticity: behavior, function, and structure. (2012, background): “…auditory input for music, but some studies have shown effects of expectancies based on rules of chord progression (Marmel et al., 2011) and influences of more specific (musical) experience (Musacchia et al., 2007; Wong et al., 2007) on early brainstem processing for speech and nonspeech stimuli.”
Plasticity in the adult human auditory brainstem following short-term linguistic training (2008, methodology): “The word identification score was obtained at the end of each session in order to monitor the subjects’ progress.”
