Loudness: magnitude of a sensation as judged by a given person. Pitch: position of a sound in a musical scale as judged by the listener. Frequency of pitch: middle c the amplitude of acoustical energy is conveyed by the darkness of the tracing in the spectrogram. These patients are also impaired at identifying the direction of a pitch change. Music and brain morphology: cells in temporal lobe alter their perceptual functions with experience, studies show that musicians brains are morphologically different in the area of. Schneider and colleagues: musicians have a larger volume of gray and white matter in. Heschl"s gyrus: fundamental pitch listener"s - leftward asymmetry, spectral-pitch listeners - rightward asymmetry. Asymmetry of temporal lobe fucntions: damage to left temporal lobe is associated: with deficits in verbal memory, processing speech sounds, damage to right temporal lobe is associated with: deficits in nonverbal memory (faces, processing certain aspects of music.
