Abstract

The last decade has seen an explosion of research in auditory perception and cognition. This growing activity encompasses neurophysiological research in nonhuman species, computational modeling of basic neurophysiological functions, and neuroimaging research in humans. Among the various neuroimaging techniques available, scalp recording of neuroelectric (electroencephalography [EEG]) and neuromagnetic (magnetoencephalography [MEG]) (see Nagarajan, Gabriel, and Herman, Chapter 5) brain activity have proven to be formidable tools in the arsenal available to cognitive neuroscientists interested in understanding audition. These techniques measure the dynamic pattern of electromagnetic fields at the scalp produced by the coherent activity of large neuronal populations in the brain. In cognitive neuroscience, the measurement of the electrical event-related brain potentials (ERPs) or magnetic event-related fields (ERFs) is among the major noninvasive techniques used for investigating sensory and cognitive information processing and for testing specific assumptions of cognitive theories that are not easily amenable to behavioral techniques. After identifying and characterizing the ERP/ERF signals that accompany the basic steps of processing discrete events, scientific interest has gradually shifted toward specifying the complex processing of more realistic stimulus configurations. In the auditory modality, recent years have seen an upsurge of research papers investigating the processes of auditory scene analysis (ASA) by ERP/ERF methods (for recent reviews, see Alain, 2007; Snyder & Alain, 2007; Winkler et al., 2009a).
