چکیده

Work by Agus and colleagues in this issue of Neuron defines a human mechanism for the rapid learning of novel noises. The noises do not have a verbal label, and are stored accurately for weeks.

Does familiarity facilitate the cortical processing of music sounds?

Automatic cortical sound discrimination, as indexed by the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the auditory evoked potential, is facilitated for familiar speech sounds (phonemes). In musicians as compared to non-musicians, an enhanced MMN has been observed for complex non-speech sounds. Here, musically trained subjects were presented with sequences of either familiar (tonal) or structurally ...

Familiarity Affects the Processing of Task-irrelevant Auditory Deviance

The effects of familiarity on auditory change detection on the basis of auditory sensory memory representations were investigated by presenting oddball sequences of sounds while participants ignored the auditory stimuli. Stimulus sequences were composed of sounds that were familiar and sounds that were made unfamiliar by playing the same sounds backward. The roles of frequently presented stimul...

Effects of stimulus contents and speaker familiarity on perceptual speaker identification

1. Introduction In daily conversation, listeners use both phonological and speaker information of the utterance in order to achieve successful communication [1]. It is reported that the processing of the phonological content and that of the speaker identity occur separately, although they interact with each other [1,2]. One example of this interaction is that certain sounds are effective for pe...

Expert athletes activate somatosensory and motor planning regions of the brain when passively listening to familiar sports sounds.

The present functional magnetic resonance imaging study examined the neural response to familiar and unfamiliar, sport and non-sport environmental sounds in expert and novice athletes. Results revealed differential neural responses dependent on sports expertise. Experts had greater neural activation than novices in focal sensorimotor areas such as the supplementary motor area, and pre- and post...

Role of familiarity in auditory discrimination of musical instrument: a laterality study.

Normal subjects were presented with dichotic pairs of sounds differing in pitch-timbre combination. Their task was to detect a fixed target sound that occurred randomly but equally often in the right and the left ear in two-thirds of the trials. Half the subjects performed this task with sounds produced by familiar natural instruments (violin, flute, guitar and drum), and the other subjects per...
