Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a noninvasive technique for investigating neuronal
activity in the living human brain. The time resolution of the method is better than 1 ms and …

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

This book delineates cerebral mechanisms of attention in humans as they presently appear
in the light of data obtained by using various modern brain-research techniques. While the …

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 …

The ultimate goal of mental workload assessment is the prediction and understanding of
variations in human performance in response to changes in system demands. This chapter …

In this review, we will present a model of brain events leading to conscious perception in
audition. This represents an updated version of Näätänen's previous model of automatic and …

In this review the following major points are emphasized. First, the descending auditory
system includes 3 separate, but parallel pathways connecting the AC, MGB and IC. Each …

The cortical representation of the acoustic features of continuous speech is the foundation of
speech perception. In this study, noninvasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings …

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 …

A signal achievement in contemporary neurobiology is the ability to trace the successive
synaptic links along which neural signals travel, from receptor to cerebral cortex. This …
