Melody processing is most visible in the P2m response component

Evidence

The melody generator was located in the medial part of Heschl’s gyrus (HG); the onset generator about 10 mm more posterior in PT—a common location for the onset N1m. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4703 (#expands, via linked claim)

Categorization

  • XREF: connects to: Pitch-change sequence processing drives larger N1m and P2m responses than constant notes — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4703; Melodic notes evoke larger N1m and P2m responses than tonic notes — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4703; Melody change processing localizes more anteriorly than energy onset in auditory cortex — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4703
