Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Sex differences in auditory processing From: Samuel Mehr <sam@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 00:16:26 -0500--0000000000003b40c105d5479030 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0000000000003b40c005d547902f" --0000000000003b40c005d547902f Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear Ani & list, We cited a few papers on this topic in our BBS target article https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32843107. The general pattern, for higher-level auditory tasks, seemed to be minimal-to-zero effects of gender. Informally, in the many hundreds of thousands of participants who do music perception tasks on our platform internationally, we have found comparably underwhelming sex differences, e.g. on pitch perception, beat alignment, mistuning, etc, but not much of these data are published (yet!) happy new year all!
