Findings reveal that auditory association cortex implements a coding framework characterized by graded sensitivity to vocal acoustic patterns, suggesting that voice recognition reflects a fundamental principle: the brain uses continuous, graded representations to interpret the acoustic world and guide perception.

While the categorical perception (CP) of musical pitch is often attributed to systematic musical training, prior work suggests that long-term experience, such as language background, can also shape pitch processing. However, it remains unclear whether musical pitch CP undergoes automatic neural processing at the pre-at...

This study highlights novel mechanisms of complex auditory-motor action planning during live music performance by scrambling an unfamiliar Tchaikovsky piano suite at four timescales and asking expert pianists to play all four versions in the fMRI scanner.

Rhythm emerges from the temporal patterning of sounds and the expectations that shape how we hear them. Rather than passively listening to incoming events, listeners organize timing information through internal predictions and external acoustic cues. In speech, louder sounds tend to mark the start of a group, whereas l...

Models of auditory attention propose that multiple sound features are integrated into a perceptual object and that selective attention enhances the fidelity of these object-based representations. Similar attentional mechanisms appear to operate on representations held in auditory working memory, yet evidence has largel...

Findings from phylogeny and ontogeny suggest that beat perception reflects an early‐emerging, biologically prepared capacity that is further shaped by experience.
