The use of stationarity and nonstationarity in the detection and analysis of neural oscillationsVille T Mäkinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, PO Box 9, FIN 00014, University of Helsinki, Finland
Neuroimage 28:389-400. 2005....
Transient brain responses predict the temporal dynamics of sound detection in humansVille Mäkinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki FIN 00014, Finland
Neuroimage 21:701-6. 2004..Thus, noninvasively measured transient events in the human auditory cortex can be used to predict accurately the temporal course of sound detection and may therefore turn out to be useful in clinical settings...
Auditory evoked responses are additive to brain oscillationsV T Mäkinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Finland
Neurol Clin Neurophysiol 2004:45. 2004..When examining evoked brain activity with methods providing simultaneous frequency and time information, emphasizing temporal accuracy is likely to provide more accurate descriptions of non-stationary processes of the human brain...
Human auditory event-related processes in the time-frequency planeVille T Mäkinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Finland
Neuroreport 15:1767-71. 2004..These results indicate that auditory event-related processes consist not only of the well-established transient responses but also of power reductions of ongoing, non-phase-locked brain processes...
Auditory event-related responses are generated independently of ongoing brain activityVille Mäkinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics ACD, Department of Psychology, PO Box 9, FIN 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland
Neuroimage 24:961-8. 2005..Thus, on the basis of our observations, auditory event-related responses are unique descriptors of neural information processing in humans, generated by processes separate from and additive to ongoing brain activity...
Spectral characterization of ongoing and auditory event-related brain processesV T Mäkinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Finland
Neurol Clin Neurophysiol 2004:104. 2004..Thus, the presented methods enable the straightforward detection of ongoing brain oscillations and their association with event-related power changes...
Human cortical dynamics determined by speech fundamental frequencyAnna Mari Mäkelä
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, P O Box 13, FIN 00014, University of Helsinki, Finland
Neuroimage 17:1300-5. 2002....
Left-hemispheric brain activity reflects formant transitions in speech soundsAnna Mari Mäkelä
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Neuroreport 16:549-53. 2005..Thus, the present study demonstrates how magnetoencephalography can be used to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution in cortical activity related to the various stages of the processing of speech...
Disentangling the effects of phonation and articulation: hemispheric asymmetries in the auditory N1m response of the human brainHannu Tiitinen
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, POB 9, FIN 00014, Finland
BMC Neurosci 6:62. 2005....
Visual short-term memory load affects sensory processing of irrelevant sounds in human auditory cortexJussi Valtonen
Apperception Cortical Dynamics ACD, Department of Psychology, P O Box 9, University of Helsinki, FIN 00014 Helsinki, Finland
Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 17:358-67. 2003..Thus, it appears that task demands requiring attentional allocation and short-term memory result in interaction across visual and auditory brain areas carrying out the processing of stimulus features...
Serotonergic modulation of mismatch negativitySeppo Kahkonen
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, University of Helsinki, Finland
Psychiatry Res 138:61-74. 2005..No effects on P50 were observed. The present results suggest serotonergic modulation of preattentive auditory change detection, suggested to initiate involuntary attention shifting in the human brain...
Glides in speech fundamental frequency are reflected in the auditory N1m responseAnna Mari Mäkelä
Apperception and Cortical Dynamics ACD, Department of Psychology, P O Box 9, FIN 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland
Neuroreport 15:1205-8. 2004..Thus, the speech-specific behavior of the N1m arises out of cortical sensitivity to the acoustic structure of voiced speech, that is to the F0 and its harmonics, which underlie the perception of pitch and intonation in speech...
