Abstract:

When two or more notes are played simultaneously, the perceptual effect can be consonant (pleasant, resolved) or dissonant (unpleasant, unresolved). This is the basis for harmony, one of the central components of Western music. Oliver Bones and I have used an electrophysiological measure called the "frequency-following response" (FFR) to explore the neural mechanisms underlying this perception. In the talk I will describe our findings, including the possible neural basis for individual differences in harmony perception, and the effects of age and musical experience.  

Chris Plack is Ellis Llwyd Jones Professor of Audiology at the University of Manchester and Professor of Auditory Neuroscience at Lancaster University.
