Humans are born with the potential to both speak and make music. For the majority of individuals who are musically untrained, this fundamental human trait is expressed by avid music listening, and occasional dancing and singing. The propensity to engage in music ultimately gives rise to a sophisticated music processing system that is largely acquir...
Participants
Eight amusic adults and nine matched controls (with no musical education and no musical impairment)—who had participated in the prior ERP study (Peretz et al., 2005)—were tested (see Table 1 for their background information). They were considered as amusic (or not) on the basis of their scores on the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA; Peretz et al., 2003). Informed consent was obtained from all participants. The battery involves six tests (180 trials) that assess various music pr...
Materials and procedure
Amusic and control subjects were presented with the same melodies as used in a prior study with students (Brattico et al., 2006). There were 160 melodies, all computer-synthesized with the timber of piano, using 26 different pitches of the equal-tempered scale and nine different semitone intervals. The melodies were derived from a set of 40 unfamiliar melodies that sound typically Western. All had a metrical rhythm, contained four bars and had notes from only one major key with no silence bet...
The behavioural results confirm that five out of eight amusics have difficulties detecting pitch anomalies in melodies, while control subjects could easily distinguish conventional melodies from those containing a mistuned or an out-of-key altered tone (Fig. 1). This was supported by an ANOVA that yielded an interaction between pitch Category and G...
Results show that the amusic brain can track quarter-tone pitch differences by exhibiting an early right-lateralized negative brain response, here termed N200. This is the first demonstration of near-normal neural processing of musical pitch incongruities in congenital amusia. It is important because it reveals that the amusic brain is equipped wit...

Amusia is a musical disorder that appears mainly as a defect in processing pitch but also encompasses musical memory and recognition. [1] Two main classifications of amusia exist: acquired amusia, which occurs as a result of brain damage, and congenital amusia, which results from a music-processing anomaly present since birth.
