Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters of this study will be the differences in NH and HI musicians and non-musicians on behavioral, eye-tracking, pupil dilation and EEG responses, and the individual profiles of these groups when the experimental findings across experiments are combined. These include the following: * relation between psychoacoustic measures and more higher-level cognitive processes, such as the time course of linguistic processing and listening effort in eye-tracking, pupil dilation and EEG measures * individual differences based on different musical expertise * group differences between different musicians and means of groups of same musical expertise * relations between the collected measures with measures of psychoacoustic sensitivities | — |
