Reading music modifies spatial mapping in pianists.
We used a novel musical Stroop task to demonstrate that musical notation is automatically processed in trained pianists. Numbers were superimposed onto musical notes, and participants played five-note sequences by mapping from numbers to fingers instead of from notes to fingers. Pianists' reaction times were significantly affected by the congruence of the note/number pairing. Nonmusicians were ...
متن کاملBrain Surface Current Density Mapping in Pianists and Non- Pianists
Brain surface current density reconstructions are widely used to analyze magnetoencephalographic data arising from electrical activity in the human brain. Commonly, this mapping is performed in single subjects. We present a methodology to apply brain surface current density mapping to group studies. The technique includes stepwise transformation of the magnetic sensors into a standard sensor sy...
متن کاملBiographical predictors of music-related motor skills in children pianists
This study aimed to identify biographical predictors of children pianists’ motor skills in a relevant musical context. Motor skills at the piano were assessed in 30 piano-playing children by testing temporal evenness in standardized scale playing which is a basic element of piano technique. Questionnaires were used to collect detailed information regarding the practice habits and other biograph...
متن کاملMusic-reading expertise alters visual spatial resolution for musical notation
Crowding occurs when the perception of a suprathreshold target is impaired by nearby distractors, reflecting a fundamental limitation on visual spatial resolution. It is likely that crowding limits music reading, as each musical note is crowded by adjacent notes and by the five-line staff, similar to word reading, in which letter recognition is reduced by crowding from adjacent letters. Here, w...
متن کاملInvoluntary motor activity in pianists evoked by music perception.
Pianists often report that pure listening to a well-trained piece of music can involuntarily trigger the respective finger movements. We designed a magnetoencephalography (MEG) experiment to compare the motor activation in pianists and nonpianists while listening to piano pieces. For pianists, we found a statistically significant increase of activity above the region of the contralateral motor ...
