Behavioral performance and blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) activity. (A) Identification accuracy across syllables as a function of SNR in musicians and nonmusicians. NN represents the NoNoise condition. Error bars indicate SEM. (B) BOLD activity across conditions in musicians and nonmusicians (PFWE < 0.001). (C) Regions where musicians showed stronger activity than nonmusicians regardless of conditions (PFWE < 0.001) and brain–behavior correlations between the mean activity across conditions in those regions and the mean accuracy in two groups. The coordinates are in Talairach space. *P < 0.05 by Pearson’s correlations.
