Musical training enhances top-down attention while reducing bottom-up distractions.
The study shows positive correlation between individual musicality and attentional recruitment in the left parietal cortex.
Neural responses reflecting sustained selective attention are linked to better task performance and musicality.
Cognitive effects from combining frequency tagging and machine learning can be applied to studies of simultaneous stimuli.
