Discussion

Passive listening study shows EEG responses differentiate human voice and instrument sounds, indicating context effects.

Different brain responses to human voice and musical instruments were observed during passive listening tasks.
Mismatch negativity occurred for rare instrumental tones within a sequence of vowels, highlighting voice categorization.
Logistic regression identified context effects in responses to ambiguous voice-instrument morphs, influencing perception.
Neural signatures in EEG recordings show that not much attention is needed for categorizing sounds as voice or non-voice.

Gao et al. (2025) studied this question.
