Research Interests
Processing and perception of auditory input.

Auditory novelty detection, investigated by
means of EEG recording. Middle-latency components of the ERPs
(event-related potentials) are analyzed regarding the potential
change for deviant (rare) stimuli that are embedded in a standard
sound pattern.
