Consonant and dissonant pitch relationships in music provide the foundation of melody and harmony, the building blocks of Western tonal music. We hypothesized that phase-locked neural activity within the brainstem may preserve information relevant ... Read more...
Pauses and intonational phrasing: ERP studies in 5-month-old German infants and adults.
29 Sep 2009 In language learning, infants are faced with the challenge of decomposing continuous speech into relevant units, such as syntactic clauses and words. Within the framework of prosodic bootstrapping, behavioral studies suggest infants approach this ... Read more...
Event-related potential evidence of processing lexical pitch-accent in auditory Japanese sentences.
21 Sep 2009 Neural mechanisms that underlie the processing of lexical pitch-accent in auditory Japanese were investigated by using event-related potentials. Native speakers of Japanese listened to two types of short sentences, both consisting of a noun and a ... Read more...
