Attentional modulation of emotional stimulus processing: An fMRI study using emotional expectancy
Bermpohl, Felix; Pascual-Leone, Alvaro; Amedi, Amir; Merabet, Lotfi B; Fregni, Felipe; Gaab, Nadine; Alsop, David C.; Schlaug, Gottfried; Northoff, Georg (Wiley-Blackwell, 2006)We used emotional expectancy to study attentional modulation in the processing of emotional stimuli. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), volunteers saw emotional and neutral expectancy cues signaling the ... -
Audiovisual Interval Size Estimation Is Associated with Early Musical Training
Abel, Mary Kathryn; Li, H. Charles; Russo, Frank A.; Schlaug, Gottfried; Loui, Psyche (Public Library of Science, 2016)Although pitch is a fundamental attribute of auditory perception, substantial individual differences exist in our ability to perceive differences in pitch. Little is known about how these individual differences in the ... -
Auditory-Motor Mapping Training: Comparing the Effects of a Novel Speech Treatment to a Control Treatment for Minimally Verbal Children with Autism
Chenausky, Karen; Norton, Andrea; Tager-Flusberg, Helen; Schlaug, Gottfried (Public Library of Science, 2016)This study compared Auditory-Motor Mapping Training (AMMT), an intonation-based treatment for facilitating spoken language in minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to a matched control treatment, ... -
Combining Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Tailor-Made Notched Music Training to Decrease Tinnitus-Related Distress – A Pilot Study
Teismann, Henning; Wollbrink, Andreas; Okamoto, Hidehiko; Schlaug, Gottfried; Rudack, Claudia; Pantev, Christo (Public Library of Science, 2014)The central auditory system has a crucial role in tinnitus generation and maintenance. Curative treatments for tinnitus do not yet exist. However, recent attempts in the therapeutic application of both acoustic ... -
Does stroke location predict walk speed response to gait rehabilitation?
Jones, P. Simon; Pomeroy, Valerie M.; Wang, Jasmine; Schlaug, Gottfried; Tulasi Marrapu, S.; Geva, Sharon; Rowe, Philip J.; Chandler, Elizabeth; Kerr, Andrew; Baron, Jean‐Claude (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015)Abstract Objectives: Recovery of independent ambulation after stroke is a major goal. However, which rehabilitation regimen best benefits each individual is unknown and decisions are currently made on a subjective basis. ... -
The Effects of Gender on the Neural Substrates of Pitch Memory
Gaab, Nadine; Keenan, Julian Paul; Schlaug, Gottfried (MIT Press - Journals, 2003-08)Imaging studies have indicated that males and females differ anatomically in brain regions thought to underlie language functions. Functional studies have corroborated this difference by showing gender differences in terms ... -
Effects of voice on emotional arousal
Loui, Psyche; Bachorik, Justin P.; Li, H. Charles; Schlaug, Gottfried (Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Music is a powerful medium capable of eliciting a broad range of emotions. Although the relationship between language and music is well documented, relatively little is known about the effects of lyrics and the voice on ... -
The Harvard Beat Assessment Test (H-BAT): a battery for assessing beat perception and production and their dissociation
Fujii, Shinya; Schlaug, Gottfried (Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Humans have the abilities to perceive, produce, and synchronize with a musical beat, yet there are widespread individual differences. To investigate these abilities and to determine if a dissociation between beat perception ... -
Perceiving Pitch Absolutely: Comparing absolute and relative pitch possessors in a pitch memory task
Schulze, Katrin; Gaab, Nadine; Schlaug, Gottfried (BioMed Central, 2009)Background: The perceptual-cognitive mechanisms and neural correlates of Absolute Pitch (AP) are not fully understood. The aim of this fMRI study was to examine the neural network underlying AP using a pitch memory experiment ... -
Practicing a Musical Instrument in Childhood is Associated with Enhanced Verbal Ability and Nonverbal Reasoning
Forgeard, Marie; Winner, Ellen; Norton, Andrea; Schlaug, Gottfried; Fitch, Tecumseh (Public Library of Science, 2008)Background In this study we investigated the association between instrumental music training in childhood and outcomes closely related to music training as well as those more distantly related.Methodology/Principal Findings ... -
Predicting speech fluency and naming abilities in aphasic patients
Wang, Jasmine; Marchina, Sarah; Norton, Andrea C.; Wan, Catherine Y.; Schlaug, Gottfried (Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)There is a need to identify biomarkers that predict degree of chronic speech fluency/language impairment and potential for improvement after stroke. We previously showed that the Arcuate Fasciculus lesion load (AF-LL), a ... -
Resting State Interhemispheric Motor Connectivity and White Matter Integrity Correlate with Motor Impairment in Chronic Stroke
Chen, Joyce L.; Schlaug, Gottfried (Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Functional and structural reorganization in the brain occurs after stroke. The ability to predict motor outcomes may depend on patterns of brain functional and structural connectivity. We tested the hypothesis that alterations ... -
Structural white matter changes in descending motor tracts correlate with improvements in motor impairment after undergoing a treatment course of tDCS and physical therapy
Zheng, Xin; Schlaug, Gottfried (Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Motor impairment after stroke has been related to the structural and functional integrity of corticospinal tracts including multisynaptic motor fibers and tracts such as the cortico-rubral-spinal and the cortico-tegmental-spinal ... -
A Validated Smartphone-Based Assessment of Gait and Gait Variability in Parkinson’s Disease
Ellis, Robert J.; Ng, Yee Sien; Zhu, Shenggao; Tan, Dawn M.; Anderson, Boyd; Schlaug, Gottfried; Wang, Ye (Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: A well-established connection exists between increased gait variability and greater fall likelihood in Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, a portable, validated means of quantifying gait variability (and testing ...
