Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …

The current review constitutes the first comprehensive look at the possibility that the
mismatch negativity (MMN, the deflection of the auditory ERP/ERF elicited by stimulus …

Researchers have designed training methods that can be used to improve mental health
and to test the efficacy of education programs. However, few studies have demonstrated …

We conducted a longitudinal study with 32 nonmusician children over 9 months to determine
1) whether functional differences between musician and nonmusician children reflect …

Musical structure is complex, consisting of a small set of elements that combine to form
hierarchical levels of pitch and temporal structure according to grammatical rules. As with …

Auditory evoked responses to a violin tone and a noise-burst stimulus were recorded from 4-
to 6-year-old children in four repeated measurements over a 1-year period using …

Objective: To examine the effects of aging and age-related hearing loss on the perception
and neural representation of a time-varying speech cue. Methods: P1, N1 and P2 cortical …

Musicianship in early life is associated with pervasive changes in brain function and
enhanced speech-language skills. Whether these neuroplastic benefits extend to older …

Purpose: We review a series of experiments aimed at studying pitch processing in music
and speech. These studies were conducted with musician and non musician adults and …

Speech-evoked auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) provide insight into the neural
mechanisms underlying speech processing. For this reason, ERPs are of great value to …
