Composing alarms: considering the musical aspects of auditory alarm design.

abstract：:Neurophysiological and functional brain imaging studies suggest the importance of dorsolateral area 9/46 for modality-independent working memory. However, the behavioural manifestations following isolated damage to this area have not been clearly outlined. Here, we describe the dramatic derangement of pragmatic memory...
