Group comparisons of brainstem “pitch” encoding computed from FFRs. F0 magnitudes are shown for segments within the response before (Pre), during (On), and after (Post) the location of the passing tone for the (A) standard (STD), (B) UP, and (C) DOWN tonal sweeps (see Fig. 1). Despite their continuous nature, musicians show enhanced encoding, relative to Chinese, in that portion of the stimulus contour localized to this prominent musical event (i.e., RE). Error bars = ±1 SE.
