[Visualization of Gray Matter Myelin and Fiber Bundles Critical for Relative Pitch: A Role of the Left Posterior Long Insular Cortex] - PubMed

Relative pitch is the ability to identify a tone pitch based on external or internal pitches. Here we used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine which cortical region is responsible for relative pitch. Forty-eight participants were asked to listen to 24 piano tones, and then write down the n…
