MR: A Case Study of Amusia
and Auditory Agnosia


This thesis extends a case study conducted by Beckwith (2003). MR is a 62 year old right handed male who was an avid music listener prior to a right temporal lobe stroke. He was admitted to hospital in May 2002 after experiencing left-arm tingling and clumsiness upon waking from sleep. MR's initial complaint after being discharged from hospital was that music no longer sounded like music, rather it sounded like broad spectrum noise. MR subsequently reported a loss of musical skills. His eagerness to participate in research aimed at understanding the nature of his musical deficits derived from the personal significance music once had for him.
