We investigated how listeners attend to multiвЂ“voiced music, examining biological indices associated with processing structured versus unstructured music. The musical organization between melodies in a composition may provide a cognitive scaffold to overcome attentional limitations when perceiving multiple lines of music concurrently. Coherence may be a key difference between music and stimuli like speech, which does not rely on the integration of multiple streams for comprehension. However, multiple musical streams are processed comparatively easily. 5Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, United StatesДЄttentional limits make it difficult to comprehend concurrent speech streams.4Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, United States.3Division of Strategy and Finance, Saint MaryвЂ™s College, Notre Dame, IN, United States.
