Auditory processing and audiovisual integration revealed by combining psychophysical and fMRI experiments
Year: 2006
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This thesis describes experiments conducted in order to investigate human perception and processing of the sound in the human brain. There are several stages in the sound processing. Firstly, in the ear, sound is recorded and transformed into the electrical signal, then information is transported to the brain stem and further to different parts of the brain. The main goal of this research is better insight and understanding of these processes in the brain. Combining psychophysical and fMRI experiments gives a better control of what subjects perceived and what was measured, since perception vary among subjects. Psychophysical experiments untangle subjects' perception and neuroimaging, fMRI experiments describe the function of the brain.
