Here, we examined the behavioural and neurophysiological differences between musicians (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200916) and nonmusicians (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200916) as they listened to trisyllabic words and classical music with noise interruptions. Our aim was to assess two competing hypotheses: (H\n                    <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) because of their enhanced ability to detect acoustic gaps, musicians are\n                    <jats:italic>less<\/jats:italic>\n                    likely to perceive continuity and will therefore exhibit increased theta power\/phase\u2010locking at interruption boundaries compared to nonmusicians. Alternatively, (H\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) musicians are\n                    <jats:italic>more<\/jats:italic>\n                    likely to perceive continuity through an enhanced ability to utilize contextual cues to fill in missing information. This top\u2010down influence should be demonstrated by reduced theta power\/phase\u2010locking in musicians. On each trial, participants reported whether a noise\u2010interrupted music or speech stimulus sounded continuous or interrupted. Behaviorally, musicians and nonmusicians had similar rates of perceived continuity for music and speech, except musicians exhibited significantly greater continuity to speech at the shortest noise interruption. The oscillatory results demonstrated that relative to nonmusicians, musicians had weaker theta phase\u2010locking to the interruption boundaries in both music and speech, supporting H\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    . Musicians also exhibited enhanced alpha (8\u201313\u2009Hz) and beta (14\u201330\u2009Hz) power for both music and speech relative to nonmusicians, possibly reflecting inhibitory processes. We conclude that musicians exhibit enhanced auditory\u2010motor inhibition to noise interruptions in both music and speech and infer this is due to their enhanced ability to utilize contextual cues.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.70408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,24]],"date-time":"2026-01-24T07:01:56Z","timestamp":1769238116000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Neural Underpinnings of the Continuity Illusion in Musicians"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5543-1705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandra\u00a0E.","family":"Santoyo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cognitive and Information Sciences University of California  Merced California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7956-847X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antoine\u00a0J.","family":"Shahin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cognitive and Information Sciences University of California  Merced California USA"},{"name":"Health Sciences Research Institute University of California  Merced California USA"},{"name":"Center for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience University of California  Merced California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel\u00a0J.","family":"Levitin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Neuroscience McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina\u00a0C.","family":"Backer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cognitive and Information Sciences University of California  Merced California USA"},{"name":"Health Sciences Research Institute University of California  Merced California USA"},{"name":"Center for Interdisciplinary Neuroscience University of California  Merced California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/pmu0000124"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/BF03210499"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/BF03206810"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0096\u20101523.21.6.1278"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brainres.2016.05.050"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.12627"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.0696\u201019.2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1467\u20109280.00125"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2018.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2004.07.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heares.2017.02.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2003.10.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0096\u20103445.119.2.123"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1712223114"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1364\u20106613(00)01839\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0207213"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brainres.2010.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn.2008.20069"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749\u20106632.2009.04579.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnhum.2010.00186"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.13861"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_24_1","volume-title":"Principles of Gestalt Psychology","author":"Koffka K.","year":"1935"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_25_1","volume-title":"Perceptual Organization","author":"Kubovy M.","year":"1981"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2013.10.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v082.i13"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_28_1","unstructured":"Lenth R.2024. \u201c_emmeans: Estimated Marginal Means aka Least\u2010Squares Means.
