In the present article, the basic research using the mismatch negativity (MMN) and
analogous results obtained by using the magnetoencephalography (MEG) and other brain …

The sequence of neurophysiological processes elicited in the auditory system by a sound is
analyzed in search of the stage at which the processes carrying sensory information cross …

There is considerable debate about whether the early processing of sounds depends on
whether they form part of speech. Proponents of such speech specificity postulate the …

The present article outlines the contribution of the mismatch negativity (MMN), and its
magnetic equivalent MMNm, to our understanding of the perception of speech sounds in the …

The voice we most often hear is our own, and proper interaction between speaking and
hearing is essential for both acquisition and performance of spoken language. Disturbed …

Physically deviant auditory stimuli occurring among frequent (“standard”) stimuli (eg, tones
or phonetic stimuli) elicit the mismatch negativity (MMN) of the auditory event-related …

Orienting is the gateway to attention, the first step in processing stimulus information. This
volume examines these initial stages of information intake, focusing on the sensory and …

The studies presented here use an adapted oddball paradigm to show evidence that
representations of discrete phonological categories are available to the human auditory …

Infrequent “deviant” auditory stimuli embedded in a homogeneous sequence of “standard”
sounds evoke a neuromagnetic mismatch field (MMF), which is assumed to reflect automatic …

Event-related brain potentials (ERP) were recorded to infrequent changes of a synthesized
vowel (standard) to another vowel (deviant) in speakers of Hungarian and Finnish language …
