  The findings might help explain why aEUR" in my completely unscientific sampling of friends and acquaintances aEUR" musicians tend to be more tolerant of slow, ambient, droning music (my pal Kevin thrives at a dreamy 0.6 notes per second). They might also explain why musicians appear to be more attuned to environmental sounds, like picking out a single voice in the din of a crowded room.
Paper Context: No correlation is found with the alpha band (as was found in the nonmusicians accuracy contrast; Fig. This correlation between beta power (mean of values within dashed box in Fig. 6A ) is evident when examining the combined musician and nonmusician group (R 2 = 0.505, P < 0.0001; Fig.
