Journal ArticleDOI
Brain responses to changes in speech sound durations differ between infants with and without familial risk for dyslexia.
Paavo H.T. Leppänen,Ulla Richardson,Elina Pihko,Kenneth Eklund,Tomi K. Guttorm,Mikko Aro,Heikki Lyytinen +6 more
TL;DR: Differences between 6-month-old infants with and without high risk of familial dyslexia in brain electrical activation generated by changes in the temporal structure of speech sounds, a critical cueing feature in speech, are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of dominance: is language laterality explained by physical or linguistic features of speech?
TL;DR: It is suggested that language laterality is bound to the processing of sounds as units of frequently occurring meaningful items and can thus be linked to the processes of learning and memory trace formation for such items rather than to their physical or phonological properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiencing Art: The Influence of Expertise and Painting Abstraction Level
Elina Pihko,Anne Virtanen,Veli-Matti Saarinen,Sebastian Pannasch,Lotta Hirvenkari,Timo Tossavainen,Arto Haapala,Riitta Hari +7 more
TL;DR: The level of abstraction affected esthetic judgments and emotional valence ratings of theLaypersons but had no effect on the opinions of the experts: the laypersons’ esthetic and emotional ratings were highest for representational paintings and lowest for abstract paintings, whereas the opinions were independent of the abstraction level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturational effects on newborn ERPs measured in the mismatch negativity paradigm.
Paavo H.T. Leppänen,Tomi K. Guttorm,Elina Pihko,Sanna Takkinen,Kenneth Eklund,Heikki Lyytinen +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that during quiet sleep, maturational factors explain a significant portion of the ERP difference wave amplitude in terms of its polarity, indicating that the more mature the ERPs are, the more positive the amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Music and speech listening enhance the recovery of early sensory processing after stroke
Teppo Särkämö,Elina Pihko,Sari Laitinen,Anita Forsblom,Seppo Soinila,Mikko Mikkonen,Taina Autti,Heli Silvennoinen,Jaakko Erkkilä,Matti Laine,Isabelle Peretz,Marja Hietanen,Mari Tervaniemi +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that merely listening to music and speech after neural damage can induce long-term plastic changes in early sensory processing, which, in turn, may facilitate the recovery of higher cognitive functions.
