Numeric aspects in pitch identification: an fMRI study.

BMC Neurosci. 2011;12:26

Authors: Schwenzer M, Mathiak K

Pitch identification had yielded unique response patterns compared to other auditory skills. Selecting one out of numerous pitches distinguished this task from detecting a pitch ascent. Encoding of numerous stimuli had activated the intraparietal sulcus in the visual domain. Therefore, we hypothesized that numerosity encoding during pitch identification activates the intraparietal sulcus as well.
