Psychophysiology 45:60-9. 2008..These results are compatible with an explanation suggesting that MMN is involved in maintaining a neural representation of the auditory environment... - Phonemic restoration in a sentence context: evidence from early and late ERP effectsPäivi Sivonen
Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
Brain Res 1121:177-89. 2006..The present ERP results support the earlier behavioral research in showing that phonemic restoration is not a bottom-up phenomenon but rather reflects a top-down repair process... - Perception of phrase structure in musicThomas R Knosche

Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, MEG Group, Muldentalweg 9, 04828 Bennewitz, Germany
Neuroimage 48:590-600. 2009..Our results are in line with previous studies localizing the sMMN to morphosyntactic violations and are furthermore compatible with the sensory hypothesis of closed-class morphology based syntactic processes... - Violation of syntax and prosody--disentangling their contributions to the early left anterior negativity (ELAN)Björn Herrmann
Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Postbox 500355, 04303 Leipzig, Germany
Neurosci Lett 490:116-20. 2011..Thus, the syntax violation effect found in the current and also in previous studies cannot be attributed to the detection of an unexpected prosodic contour, but rather reflects difficulties in local phrase structure building... - Semantic retrieval of spoken words with an obliterated initial phoneme in a sentence contextPäivi Sivonen
Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Stephanstrasse 1a, 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Neurosci Lett 408:220-5. 2006..The results suggest that both context-driven expectancy (top-down) and stimulus-driven processes (bottom-up) are utilized in word processing and contribute to the overall N400 response... - Maturation of obligatory auditory responses and their neural sources: evidence from EEG and MEGPhilipp Ruhnau
University of Leipzig, Institute of Psychology, Leipzig, Germany
Neuroimage 58:630-9. 2011..This effect indicates that the N1 sub-component reflecting frequency-specific refractoriness is fully developed in 9 to 10year old children. Thus, previous interpretations on the function and maturation of the N1 need reconsideration... - Adverse listening conditions and memory load drive a common α oscillatory networkJonas Obleser
Max Planck Research Group Auditory Cognition, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
