Orderly cortical representation of vowel categories presented by multiple exemplarsAnna Shestakova
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, PO Box 9, FIN 00014 University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 21:342-50. 2004..Our data further extend the notion of differential cortical representations in response to vowel categories, previously demonstrated by using only one or a few tokens representing each category...- Abstract phoneme representations in the left temporal cortex: magnetic mismatch negativity studyAnna Shestakova
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, PO Box 13, FIN 00014, Finland
Neuroreport 13:1813-6. 2002..These results implicate the presence of long-term memory traces for vowels, which can recognize the vowel-specific invariant code enabling correct vowel percept even in the presence of realistic acoustic variation... - Event-related potentials associated with second language learning in childrenAnna Shestakova
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, P O Box 9, University of Helsinki, Helsinki FIN 00014, Finland
Clin Neurophysiol 114:1507-12. 2003..In this study, we investigated learning-related changes in auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) of Finnish-speaking 3-6-year-old children caused by learning French language... 
No effects of mobile phone use on cortical auditory change-detection in children: an ERP studyMyoung Soo Kwon
Department of Psychology, Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Turku, Assistentinkatu 7, Turku, Finland
Bioelectromagnetics 31:191-9. 2010..However, it should be noted that the present study only had sufficient statistical power to detect a large effect size...- Mismatch negativity (MMN) elicited by changes in phoneme length: a cross-linguistic studySari Ylinen
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, P O Box 9, FIN 00014, Finland
Brain Res 1072:175-85. 2006..The second-language users, however, did not seem to have automatic access to Finnish prototypes... - The perception of phonological quantity based on durational cues by native speakers, second-language users and nonspeakers of FinnishSari Ylinen
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, P O Box 9, FIN 00014, University of Helsinki, Finland
Lang Speech 48:313-38. 2005.... - Speech-sound duration processing in a second language is specific to phonetic categoriesSari Nenonen
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, P O Box 9, FIN 00014 Helsinki, Finland
Brain Lang 92:26-32. 2005..However, for the sounds that have no Russian equivalent, new vowel categories independent of the native Russian language have apparently been established, enabling a native-like duration processing of Finnish... - Auditory magnetic responses of healthy newbornsMinna Huotilainen
Department of Psychology, PO Box 9, FIN 00014 University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Neuroreport 14:1871-5. 2003..The modelling of the neural sources underlying the recorded responses suggests cortical sources in the temporal lobes... - Preattentive auditory information processing under exposure to the 902 MHz GSM mobile phone electromagnetic field: a mismatch negativity (MMN) studyMyoung Soo Kwon
Department of Psychology, Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Turku, Assistentinkatu 7, Turku, Finland
Bioelectromagnetics 30:241-8. 2009..In the present study, we found no conclusive evidence that acute exposure to GSM mobile phone EMF affects cortical auditory change detection processing reflected by the MMN... - Linguistic relevance of duration within the native language determines the accuracy of speech-sound duration processingSari Nenonen
Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, PO Box 9, FIN 00014 Helsinki, Finland

Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki, Finland
Int J Psychophysiol 68:123-9. 2008..Studying each of these auditory skills with MEG in particular stimulation paradigms is shortly reviewed, including two examples of data sets in children... - Sound complexity and 'speechness' effects on pre-attentive auditory discrimination in childrenRita Ceponiene
Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Department of Psychology, Meritullinkatu 1B, P O Box 13, 00014 University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Int J Psychophysiol 43:199-211. 2002..The discrimination of the sound duration appears to differ from that of the sound frequency in nature and, consequently, in the neural substrates... - Mismatch negativity shows that 3-6-year-old children can learn to discriminate non-native speech sounds within two monthsMarie Cheour
Language and the Developing Brain Laboratory, Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
Neurosci Lett 325:187-90. 2002..Accordingly, these data herald the vast potential MMN may entail for studying language learning, especially in situations where behavioral responses cannot be readily elicited...
