Processing of Stress Related Acoustic Cues as Indexed by ERPs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper investigated the event-related brain potential correlates of the processing of word stress related acoustic changes. We studied the processing of non-speech stimuli containing similar intensity and f0 changes as speech stimuli in a passive oddball paradigm. Contrary to our previous results using speech stimuli with a trochaic stress pattern contrasted with a iambic stress pattern, non-speech stimuli elicited a single MMN component. This result was interpreted as showing that the processing of stress information is based on speech specific mechanisms, instead of solely acoustic mechanisms.

The Role of Event Related Potentials in Pre-Comprehension Processing of Consumers to Marketing Logos
Background: In human behavior study, by peering directly into the brain and assessing distinct patterns, evoked neurons and neuron spike can be more understandable by taking advantages of accurate brain analysis. Objectives: We investigated the role of Event Related Potentials (ERPs) in pre-comprehension processing of consumers to marketing logos.. Materials & Methods: In the framework of an ...
متن کاملLexical access enhances the activation of predominant stress templates in infants
Infants develop different kinds of long-term linguistic representation as early as in their first year of life. We examined the interaction of early lexical access and prosodic processing. It is proposed that familiar word forms are stored in a protolexicon before linking any concepts to them, enabling early (proto)lexical segmentation from fluent speech. Additionally, previous results strength...
متن کاملAttentional bias to affective faces and complex IAPS images in early visual cortex follows emotional cue extraction
Emotionally arousing stimuli are known to rapidly draw the brain's processing resources, even when they are task-irrelevant. The steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) response, a neural response to a flickering stimulus which effectively allows measurement of the processing resources devoted to that stimulus, has been used to examine this process of attentional shifting. Previous studies...
متن کاملA Decision Support System of Evoked Potentials for the Classification of Patients with First-Episode Schizophrenia
Background: Recently it has been shown that the second-pass parsing process of information processing, as indexed by the P600 component of event-related potentials (ERPs), elicited during a working memory (WM) test, is impaired in first episode schizophrenic (FES) patients. Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop a decision support system – based on artificial neural networks (ANN) t...
متن کاملCortical encoding and neurophysiological tracking of intensity and pitch cues signaling English stress patterns in native and nonnative speakers.
We examined cross-language differences in neural encoding and tracking of intensity and pitch cues signaling English stress patterns. Auditory mismatch negativities (MMNs) were recorded in English and Mandarin listeners in response to contrastive English pseudowords whose primary stress occurred either on the first or second syllable (i.e., "nocTICity" vs. "NOCticity"). The contrastive syllable...
