Abstract. The perception of native speech sounds is based on the automatically responding long-term memory traces. In second language (L2) learning, the perception of the target language speech sounds is filtered through the first language (L1) system, ...

Abstract. Hypotheses about the P3 component of the event-related EEG potential have usually assumed that P3b reflects some processing independent from organizing the response. In contrast, the notion that P3b is related to a decision process implies some ...

Abstract. The temporal segmentation of the processing stream between stimulus and response is a declared aim of many EEG-studies on cognitive processing. This goal, however, can only be reached when measures of high temporal sensitivity are available that ...

Abstract. Although band and spot electrodes have been compared in prior research, they have not been evaluated (a) at identical anatomical locations, (b) during a single laboratory session, (c) with measures taken in close temporal proximity, (d) using a ...

Abstract. This paper presents a new methodology for studying cognition, which combines eye movements (EM) and event-related potentials (ERP) to track the cognitive processes that occur during a single eye fixation. This technique, called eye-fixation-...

Abstract. We recorded event-related potentials in an illusory conjunction task, in which subjects were cued on each trial to search for a particular colored letter in a subsequently presented test array, consisting of three different letters in three ...
