Hertrich, Ingo; Dietrich, Susanne; Ackermann, Hermann – Brain and Language, 2013
Blind people can learn to understand speech at ultra-high syllable rates (ca. 20 syllables/s), a capability associated with hemodynamic activation of the central-visual system. To further elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying this skill, magnetoencephalographic (MEG) measurements during listening to sentence utterances were cross-correlated…

Tomaschek, Fabian; Truckenbrodt, Hubert; Hertrich, Ingo – Brain and Language, 2013
Recent experiments showed that the perception of vowel length by German listeners exhibits the characteristics of categorical perception. The present study sought to find the neural activity reflecting categorical vowel length and the short-long boundary by examining the processing of non-contrastive durations and categorical length using MEG.…
