| Abstract |
We use near-infrared spectroscopy NIRS to assess listeners’ cortical responses to a 10-s series of pure tones separated in frequency. Listeners are instructed to either judge the rhythm of these “st...reaming” stimuli active-response listening or to listen to the stimuli passively. Experiment 1 shows that active-response listening causes increases in oxygenated hemoglobin oxy-Hb in response to all stimuli, generally over the premotor cortices. The oxy-Hb increases are significantly larger over the right hemisphere than over the left for the final 5 s of the stimulus. Hemodynamic levels do not vary with changes in the frequency separation between the tones and corresponding changes in perceived rhythm “gallop,” “streaming,” or “ambiguous”. Experiment 2 shows that hemodynamic levels are strongly influenced by listening mode. For the majority of time windows, active-response listening causes significantly larger oxy-Hb increases than passive listening, significantly over the left hemisphere during the stimulus and over both hemispheres after the stimulus. This difference cannot be attributed to physical motor activity and preparation related to button pressing after stimulus end, because this is required in both listening modes.show more
