Absolute Pitch is an extremely rare skill that few musicians possess and which enables them to identify tones without reference. Typically this ability early is developed in childhood, provided that music performance is initiated at an early stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this PhD project , the phenomenon has been studied in several ways. Dohns research suggests that active music performance has an impact on the precision of the absolute pitch and\u00a0that people with perfect pitch have a thicker cortex in certain areas of the brain than musicians without\u00a0perfect pitch.\u00a0Moreover, it seems that perfect pitch is associated with some particular personality traits also seen in people with autism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These findings may provide a better understanding of musical ability and the rare phenomenon: perfect pitch. <\/strong><\/p>\n
