Both music and speech give humans the power to make sense of sound. This remarkable human feature is currently the topic of a heated debate between scientists who emphasize the similarities between language and music, and others, like me, who have been argued that there is little cognitive overlap between these two major auditory-vocal faculties. Elucidating the origins of this divergence is very important from both an evolutionary and a neurobiological perspective. Thus, the goal of this research program is to document experimentally how music and speech differ and to what extent they interact.

音乐和语言都赋予人类理解声音的能力。这一显著的人类特征目前是科学家和其他人之间激烈辩论的主题，他们强调语言和音乐之间的相似之处，而其他人，如我，一直认为这两种主要的听觉-发声能力之间几乎没有认知重叠。从进化和神经生物学的角度来看，阐明这种差异的起源都是非常重要的。因此，这项研究计划的目标是通过实验记录音乐和语音的不同之处以及它们相互作用的程度。
