Neural Correlates of Congenital Amusia

Abstract

Magnetic resonance T1-weighted images were analyzed, using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), to detect brain anatomical differences in two independent groups of adults with congenital amusia (or tone-deafness) compared to controls with normal pitch perception and no formal musical training.
