Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory frequency discrimination and event-related potentials
TL;DR: The present results are in line with the hypothesis according to which the MMN component reflects the activation of cerebral mechanisms of passive discrimination, those which cause us to become aware of occasional changes in unattended stimulus sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Musicians have enhanced subcortical auditory and audiovisual processing of speech and music
TL;DR: Watching videos of speech and music enhanced temporal and frequency encoding in the auditory brainstem, particularly in musicians, demonstrating practice-related changes in the early sensory encoding of auditory and audiovisual information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Organization of the Human First and Second Somatosensory Cortices: a Neuromagnetic Study
TL;DR: Multichannel neuromagnetic recordings were used to differentiate signals from the human first (SI) and second (SII) somatosensory cortices and to define representations of body surface in them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of the primary auditory cortex to pitch changes in a sequence of tone pips: neuromagnetic recordings in man.
Riitta Hari,Matti Hämäläinen,Risto J. Ilmoniemi,E. Kaukoranta,Kalevi Reinikainen,J. Salminen,Kimmo Alho,Risto Näätänen,Mikko Sams +8 more
TL;DR: P Pitch deviance in a sequence of repetitive tone pips elicited magnetic evoked-response changes with a topography suggesting that a neuronal mismatch process to the deviant tones activates the primary auditory cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotions promote social interaction by synchronizing brain activity across individuals.
Lauri Nummenmaa,Enrico Glerean,Mikko Viinikainen,Iiro P. Jääskeläinen,Riitta Hari,Mikko Sams +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that negative valence synchronizes individuals' brain areas supporting emotional sensations and understanding of another’s actions, whereas high arousal directs individuals’ attention to similar features of the environment.
