1. Choral training has no effect on music perception in humans.

   “No changes were observed in audiometric thresholds or music perception measures.”

1. Choral training is associated with Flourishing Scale in humans.

   “psychological well-being revealed a decrease in flourishing scores in the passive control group relative to the choir group.”

1. Choral training is associated with N2–P3 inter-peak latency in humans.

   “choir participation was associated with a bilateral, significant shortening of the N2–P3 inter-peak latency, indicating faster auditory–cortical processing.”
