Musical training-induced plasticity reflects melodic rather than instrumental expertise

Tamar Ben-David, Shachar Gal, Romi Kaplan, Danielle Catalogna, Asaf Madar, Niv Tik, Michal Bernstein‐Eliav, Ido Tavor

This study shows that musical training leads to behavioral generalization but neural plasticity is specific to the learned melody, not the instrument.

Act Natural: Functional Connectivity from Naturalistic Stimuli fMRI Outperforms Resting-State in Predicting Brain Activity

Shachar Gal, Yael Coldham, Niv Tik, Michal Bernstein‐Eliav, Ido Tavor

This study shows that functional connectivity from naturalistic stimuli fMRI better predicts brain activation and intelligence scores than resting-state fMRI.
