Cracking the pitch code in music and language: Insights from congenital amusia and autism spectrum disorders<\/span><\/h2>\n

ERC-2015-StG-678733-CAASD<\/a>, 2016-2022, European Research Council, \u20ac1,488,814<\/h3>\n

Our CAASD project aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms of pitch processing in language and music through comparative studies of two neurodevelopmental conditions: congenital amusia (CA) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The two conditions demonstrate intriguing differences in music, language, emotion, pitch, memory, and cognitive processing that provide us with a unique opportunity to examine the underlying mechanisms of music and language processing.<\/p>\n

In particular, our project aims at constructing a unified account of pitch processing in music and language through systematic studies of the behavioural and neural bases of musical, linguistic, and emotional pitch processing in Mandarin-speaking individuals with and without CA and ASD, in comparison with English-speaking individuals with and without CA\/ASD.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will address the following three specific aims using behavioural, electroencephalography (EEG), and neuro-cognitive methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Aim 1<\/u><\/b>: To elucidate the\u00a0differences in\u00a0speech, music, and emotional processing in CA and ASD, and how and to what extent pitch processing and cognitive abilities impact these\u00a0differences.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Aim 2<\/u><\/b>: To pinpoint the neurophysiological origins of differences in speech and musical processing in CA and ASD.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
Aim 3<\/u><\/b>: To determine the impact of language background (Mandarin versus English) on communicative abilities of ASD individuals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our research will not only help reveal the underlying mechanisms of the two defining aspects of human cognition, music and language, but also form a laboratory for testing key hypotheses about the bio-behavioural characteristics of music and language processing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
