Oscillatory alpha modulations in right auditory regions reflect the validity of acoustic cues in an auditory spatial attention task.
Anticipation of targets in the left or right hemifield leads to alpha modulations in posterior brain areas. Recently using magnetoencephalography, we showed increased right auditory alpha activity when attention was cued ipsilaterally. Here, we investigated the issue how cue validity itself influences oscillatory alpha activity. Acoustic cues were presented either to the right or left ear, foll...
متن کاملEndogenous auditory spatial attention modulates obligatory sensory activity in auditory cortex.
Endogenous attention is the self-directed focus of attention to a region or feature of the environment. In this study, we assess the effects of endogenous attention on temporally detailed responses to continuous and competing auditory stimuli obtained using the novel auditory evoked spread spectrum analysis (AESPA) method. There is some debate as to whether an enhancement of sensory processing ...
متن کاملHemispheric Asymmetries: Attention to Visual and Auditory Primitives
A computational theory of hemispheric asymmetries in perception (double filtering by frequency) is described. Its central tenet is that the cerebral hemispheres first perform symmetric filtering of visual and auditory information. Functional hemispheric asym metry arises from a second fil tering stage (containing filters skewed in different directions in the two hemispheres). The first stage se...
متن کاملAttention Modulates the Auditory Cortical Processing of Spatial and Category Cues in Naturalistic Auditory Scenes
This combined fMRI and MEG study investigated brain activations during listening and attending to natural auditory scenes. We first recorded, using in-ear microphones, vocal non-speech sounds, and environmental sounds that were mixed to construct auditory scenes containing two concurrent sound streams. During the brain measurements, subjects attended to one of the streams while spatial acoustic...
متن کاملVisual Attention in Auditory Display
The interdisciplinary field of image sonification aims at the transformation of images to auditory signals. It brings together researchers from different fields of computer science like sound synthesizing, data mining and human computer interaction. Its goal is the use of sound and all its attributes to display the data sets itself and thus making the highly developed human aural system usable ...
