This study shows that performance anxiety in skilled pianists affects reward and punishment learning based on task uncertainty, with faster reward learning under high uncertainty and faster punishment learning under low uncertainty.

This study shows that expert pianists have enhanced inhibitory function in the somatosensory cortex, improving their ability to process and execute fast multifinger movements.

This study identifies biological factors differentiating finger dexterity between musicians and non-musicians and across trained musicians.
