✦ Synopsis

Neuromagnetic responses to different auditory stimuli (noise bursts and short speech stimuli) were mapped over both hemispheres of seven healthy subjects. The results indicate that a particular acoustic feature of speech, vowel onset after voiceless fricative consonants, evokes a prominent response in the human supratemporal auditory cortex. Although the observed response seems to be specific to acoustic rather than phonetic characteristics of the stimuli, it might reflect feature detection essential for further speech processing.

Neuromagnetic responses were recorded with a 24-SQUID magnetometer in two "oddball" experiments to determine whether mismatch responses to changes in single stimulus features are additive. In experiment 1, the one-feature deviants differed from standards in interstimulus interval (ISI) or frequency,
