PURPOSE The authors sought to determine the value of the audition elective to the overall success of medical students in the match. METHOD The authors surveyed 1,335 fourth-year medical students at 10 medical schools in 2013. The study took place over a 2-month period immediately following the match. Medical students were emailed a 14-question survey and asked about audition electives, rank o...

Background in music practice. The audition process is used extensively in the arts to identify talent and to determine entry into music conservatoria. Judges must make rapid decisions regarding the quality and training potential of singing voices, however, there is limited understanding of these decisional processes and the criteria on which they are based. Background in music perception and ac...

Effects of intermodal attention AND of cross-modal links in spatial attention on visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) were investigated in two experiments where participants had to attend to one stimulus modality (audition or vision) to respond to infrequently presented targets whenever these were presented at a relevant location (indicated by a cue). The ERP effects of intermoda...

Various pathway models for emotional processing suggest early prefrontal contributions to affective stimulus evaluation. Yet, electrophysiological evidence for such rapid modulations is still sparse. In a series of four MEG/EEG studies which investigated associative learning in vision and audition using a novel MultiCS Conditioning paradigm, many different neutral stimuli (faces, tones) were pa...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of vision and audition in the coordination of in-phase and anti-phase movement patterns at increasing frequency of oscillation in a bimanual linear slide task. The dependent variables were mean error of relative phase and standard deviation of relative phase. Results indicated that vision and audition did not influence the accuracy an...
