Music expertise shapes audiovisual temporal integration windows for speech, sinewave speech, and music.

Post-hoc two samples t -tests (one-tailed) for each stimulus class revealed that musicians relative to non-musicians exhibited significantly narrower temporal integration windows for sinewave speech [ t (39) = 2.34, p = 0.025; one-tailed p = 0.01] and piano music [ t (39) = 4.74, p < 0.001], and a marginal significance for natural speech [ t (39) = 1.49, p = 0.14; one-tailed p = 0.07].

While the effect of piano practicing was most pronounced for music, it also generalized to other stimulus classes such as sinewave speech and to a marginally significant degree to natural speech. multisensory temporal synchrony audiovisual integration plasticity speech music Critically, we also observed main effects of stimulus class and group, as well as an interaction between stimulus class and group.
