Neural Mechanisms Underlying Perception of Music & Speech Robert Zatorre Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University Music and speech are perhaps the most interesting and complex ways that sound is used by the human cognitive system. It seems likely that such processes would demand a correspondingly complex set of neural computations. This talk will report research on these issues using two complementary techniques: experimental studies in patients with focal cortical lesions, and positron emission tomography (PET) studies of functional activation in normal subjects. Converging evidence from these studies provide an initial description of how specialized neural networks allow us to perceive, remember and imagine speech and music.
