Impaired pitch perception and memory in congenital amusia: the deficit starts in the auditory cortex.

The data provide first evidence of altered functioning of the auditory cortices during pitch perception and memory in congenital amusia and support the hypothesis that in neurodevelopmental disorders impacting high-level functions, abnormalities in cerebral processing can be observed in early brain responses.

Acoustic correlates of timbre space dimensions: a confirmatory study using synthetic tones.

Listeners presented with carefully controlled synthetic tones use attack time, spectral centroid, and spectrum fine structure in dissimilarity rating experiments, and spectral flux appears as a less salient timbre parameter, its salience depending on the number of other dimensions varying concurrently in the stimulus set.

Separate Neural Processing of Timbre Dimensions in Auditory Sensory Memory

Results expand to timbre dimensions a property of separation of the representation in sensory memory that has already been reported between basic perceptual attributes (pitch, loudness, duration, and location) of sound sources.

Odd Sound Processing in the Sleeping Brain

It is proposed that the P3b-like response could be associated to an active processing of the deviant tone in the dream's consciousness, suggesting elaborated processing of external stimulation during sleep.

ELAN: A Software Package for Analysis and Visualization of MEG, EEG, and LFP Signals

The ELAN toolbox is based on 25 years of methodological developments at the Brain Dynamics and Cognition Laboratory in Lyon and was used in many papers including the very first studies of time-frequency analysis of EEG data exploring evoked and induced oscillatory activities in humans.

Cerebral gray and white matter reductions and clinical correlates in patients with early onset schizophrenia.

Findings emphasize a pattern of left-hemisphere gray matter abnormalities, and suggest that fronto-paralimbic connectivity may be altered in men with early onset schizophrenia.

Changes in Early Cortical Visual Processing Predict Enhanced Reactivity in Deaf Individuals

It is found that deaf subjects were faster than hearing controls at detecting the visual targets, regardless of their location in the visual field (peripheral or peri-foveal), and the results provide the first evidence of a co-variation between modified brain activity and behavioural enhancement in this sensory-deprived population.

Perceptual alternations between unbound moving contours and bound shape motion engage a ventral/dorsal interplay.

The uncovered interplay between the two regions is proposed to reflect a generic binding process that dynamically weights the perceptual evidence supporting the different shape and motion interpretations according to the reliability of the neural activity in these regions.

Visual change detection recruits auditory cortices in early deafness

The present study suggests that the deafened auditory cortices participate at extracting and storing the visual information and at comparing on-line the upcoming visual events, thus indicating that cross-modally recruited auditory cortice can reach this level of computation.

Specialized neural dynamics for verbal and tonal memory: fMRI evidence in congenital amusia

Comparing typical nonmusician listeners to individuals with congenital amusia, who exhibit pitch memory impairments with preserved verbal memory, suggests specialized cortical systems for tonal and verbal short‐term memory in the human brain.
