1. Neural Asymmetry in the Perception of South Swedish Word Accents
University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/FonetikAbstract : South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. READ MORE

2. Holistic and combinatorial processing of Swedish tone accents in the brain: An MMN study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskapAbstract : All words in Swedish have a particular melody. There are two tonal patterns that are observed in different prosodic and morphological contexts – accent 1 and accent 2. The tone of accent 1 is the default melody in Swedish and is said to be of intonational nature. READ MORE

3. Neuronal activity to environmental sounds when presented together with semantically related words : An MMN study on monolingual and bilingual processing of homophones
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för allmän språkvetenskapAbstract : Neuronal activity of monolingual and bilinguals to environmental sounds and words that are semantically related to them were studied using the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of event-related potentials. MMN was expected to reflect the language selection process in bilinguals on the bases of semantics and phonology. READ MORE

4. Time-frequency analysis for responses evoked by nociceptive and non-nociceptive stimuli based on EEG signals
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : In the pursuit of a system capable of measuring pain signals in humans we propose a method to differentiate those signals related to pain from those which are not. We performed a time-frequency analysis using the Gabor transform to have complete information about the spectrum and its behaviour through the time to study the main differences over the evoked potentials provoked by both nociceptive and somatosensory (non-nociceptive) stimulation.

5. Effects of Suprasegmental Features on the Processing of Spoken Words in the Human Brain: Evidence from Mismatch Negativity (MMN)
University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskapAbstract : The study reported in the present paper aimed to determine the effect of prosodic cues on automatic word processing in the brain by comparing the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potentials (ERP) elicited by isolated words and pseudowords. More specifically, it attempted to explore the influence of changes in certain suprasegmental cues such as fundamental frequency and intensity on the perception of linguistic stress patterns by native speakers of American English.
