Differences in early and late activity between absolute pitch (AP) and non-AP musicians. AP possessors showed greater activity in the left superior temporal sulcus during the early scanning period (imaging time points (ITPs) at 0 to 3 s post-stimulus) and non-possessors showed greater activity in right parietal areas during both scanning periods (ITPs at 4 to 6 s post-stimulus).
