Brain activation during string playing -- 13. 'Singing in the (b)rain' : cerebral correlates of vocal music performance in humans -- 14. Sensory-motor networks in singing and speaking : a comparative approach -- 15. The role of inhibition in the motor control of finger functions -- Apollo's curse - loss of motor control in musicians: 16. The end of the song? : Robert Schumann's focal dystonia -- 17. Epidemiology, phenomenology, and therapy of musician's cramp -- 18. The neurophysiology of focal hand dystonia in musicians -- 19.
