How does the brain process rapidly changing sounds? A forthcoming NAL article to be published in Clinical Neurophysiology explores an objective discrimination measure of rapidly changing sounds using a brain imaging technique called magnetoencephalography (MEG). The aim of the study was to design a new experimental approach to investigate the brain responses elicited by rapidly changing speech sounds. The results show that the brain responses recorded using this new approach can potentially be used as a marker of sound discrimination. This may become an important measure when investigating disorders such as auditory processing disorders, auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder or specific language impairment.
