Cortical processing of musical consonance: an evoked potential study.

abstract：:The auditory-evoked potential's N1 component of the scalp electroencephalogram is a well-established measure of electrical brain activity. The N1 reflects basic auditory processing and is modulated by auditory experience, for instance, by musical training. Here, we explore a possible correlation between the auditory N...
