  • Prevalence of inter-hemispheric than intra-hemispheric structural connectivity that showed positive linear associations with better music perception abilities.
  • Sequential and not sensory sub-scores showed associations with whole brain structural connectivity

Fig.1 Significant edge list for positive associations with d’-total scores. The nodes with its total number of connections are also indicated.
Fig.2 Significant edge list for positive associations with d’s computed from sequential processing component (comprising Melody, Standard Rhythm, Embedded Rhythm and Accent). The nodes with its total number of connections are also indicated.
