News Finding: "Specifically, our findings show that the presence of these rhythms enhances our perception of music and of pitch changes."
Paper Finding: 5B ) indicate a linear relationship.
News Context: The findings also suggest musical training can enhance the functional role of brain rhythms. "Specifically, our findings show that the presence of these rhythms enhances our perception of music and of pitch changes." Not surprisingly, the study found that musicians have more potent oscillatory mechanisms than do non-musicians--but this discovery's importance goes beyond the value of musical instruction.
Paper Context: The corresponding scatter plots (Fig. 5B ) indicate a linear relationship. It should be noted that musical training is highly correlated with the age of the participants (R 2 = 0.56, P < 0.005).
