Neural Encoding of Pitch Direction Is Enhanced in Musically Trained Children and Is Related to Reading Skills

Musical training in childhood has been linked to enhanced sound encoding at different stages of the auditory processing. In the current study, we used auditory event-related potentials to investigate cortical sound processing in 9- to 15-year-old children (N = 88) with and without musical training....
