Final tones

In the 280-400 ms range, an effect of Pitch Deviation was found, with a larger negativity for out-of-tune tones than for in-tune tones (F(1,13) = 13.8; p < .01). In addition, an effect of Laterality was found, with larger negativities for right than for left electrode locations (F(1,13) = 4.93; p < .05). Finally, a three-way interaction between Laterality, Pitch Deviation, and Tonal Relatedness was observed (F(1,13) = 5.87; p < .05): For in-tune tones, less tonally related tones (subdominant tones) tended to elicit larger negativities than tonally related tones (tonic tones) on the right electrode locations (although the contrast was not significant).

In the 430-570 ms range, an effect of Pitch Deviation was found, with larger positivities for out-of-tune tones than for in-tune tones (F(1,13) = 12.0; p < .01).
