title: People with absolute pitch process tones without producing a p300.
abstract: The P300 is a positive-going component of the event-related potential. In subjects with absolute, or "perfect," pitch, the P300 elicited by the less frequent of two auditory probes is small or absent. In these subjects, visual probes elicit a normal P300. These results support the view of P300 as a manifestation of the updating of working memory.
