A part of the auditory system automatically detects changes in acoustic environment. This preattentional process has been studied extensively, yet its cerebral origins have not determined with sufficient accuracy to allow comparison established anatomical and functional parcellations. Here we used event-related MRI EEG a parametric experimental design determine cortical areas individual brains that participate detection changes. Our results suggest automatic change processing consists at...
Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the effects of live music therapy on heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported stress anxiety among hospitalized women with high-risk pregnancies. A total 102 at an antenatal ward due pregnancy-related complications participated in a randomized controlled trial.Methods: The participants were randomly assigned group (N = 52) or control 50). received three consecutive days, for half hour time. belonging instructed rest equally long time periods....
Dyslexic and control first-grade school children were compared in a Symbol-to-Sound matching test based on non-linguistic audiovisual training which is known to have remediating effect dyslexia. Visual symbol patterns had be matched with predicted sound patterns. Sounds incongruent the corresponding visual (thus not prediction) elicited N2b P3a event-related potential (ERP) components relative congruent sounds children. Their ERPs resembled ERP effects previously reported for healthy adults...
Auditory change-detection responses provide information on sound discrimination and memory skills in infants. We examined both the automatic process processing of emotional content speech preterm infants comparison to full-term at term age. Preterm (n = 21) infants' 20) event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded A challenging multi-feature mismatch negativity (MMN) paradigm with phonetic deviants rare sounds (happy, sad, angry), a simple one-deviant oddball pure tones used. Positive (MMR)...
In this study, we challenge the commonly held belief that virtual meeting fatigue manifests as exhaustion (i.e., active fatigue) resulting from overloading demands and instead suggest participation in meetings may lead to increased drowsiness passive due underload of stimulation. Using subjective cardiac measures (heart rate variability), investigated relationships between versus face-to-face different types (active passive) among 44 knowledge workers during real-life (N = 382). Our...
Electrodermal activity is an indicator of sympathetic activation and a useful tool for investigating psychological physiological arousal. Novel wearable skin conductivity sensors offer portable low-cost solutions long-term monitoring. In this article we compare the similarity signals between prototype Moodmetric EDA Ring laboratory-grade conductance sensor in psychophysiological experiment. The was estimated by calculating cosine distance phasic features extracted from decomposed signals. on...
Abstract Aim Studies examining the long‐term effects of neonatal music interventions on cognition children born preterm are scarce. We investigated whether a parental singing intervention before term age improves cognitive and language skills in preterm‐born children. Methods In this longitudinal, two‐country Singing Kangaroo, randomised controlled trial, 74 infants were allocated to or control group. A certified therapist supported parents 48 group sing hum during daily skin‐to‐skin care...
Even though some individuals subjectively associate various symptoms with infrasound, there are very few systematic studies on the contribution of infrasound to perception, annoyance, and physiological reactions elicited by wind turbine sound. In this study, sound samples were selected among long-term measurement data from power plant residential areas, both indoors outdoors, used in laboratory experiments. experiments, detectability annoyance inaudible audible characteristics noise...
We evaluated the feasibility of a multi-feature mismatch negativity (MMN) paradigm in studying auditory processing healthy newborns. The aim was to examine automatic change-detection and semantic emotional information speech Brain responses 202 newborns were recorded with including Finnish bi-syllabic pseudo-word/ta-ta/as standard stimulus, six linguistically relevant deviant stimuli three emotionally (happy, sad, angry). Clear sounds found already at early latency window 100–200 ms, whereas...
Preterm birth carries a risk for adverse neurodevelopment. Cognitive dysfunctions, such as language disorders may manifest atypical sound discrimination already in early infancy. As infant-directed singing has been shown to enhance acquisition infants, we examined whether parental during skin-to-skin care (kangaroo care) improves speech preterm infants. Forty-five infants born between 26 and 33 gestational weeks (GW) their parents participated this cluster-randomized controlled trial (...
