KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
The aim of this review is to compare published FFR studies for groups of musicians and non-musicians. Musicians are taken to be those who
have used their instrument at least twice a week for many years. The review considers sample size, age, gender, native language, preliminary
and complementary assessments, equipment, stimuli, objective results, and conclusions of the studies.
Medline/PubMed and Web of Science databases were accessed. Keywords were restricted to English Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms
and included: auditory brainstem response, speech ABR, speech perception, frequency following response, musicians. The search identified 140 articles published between 2008 and 2015. After filtering the total number of papers according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,
11 studies remained.
Analysis showed that individuals with musical experience, that is, play a musical instrument at least 2 to 3 hours per week, show an improved
development of their FFR. Musical experience improves a broad range of abilities: detection, recognition, and discrimination of sound stimuli are processed more accurately and effectively in musicians. The improvement also relates to the encoding of speech, facilitating literacy.
Assessment by FFR allows neural changes from musical training to be monitored.
