It includes EEG/MEG as additional variables to be considered when studying neural mechanisms of auditory processing in general, specifically in speech.
- Focuses on signal processing in human auditory-neuroscience
- Contains information that will be useful to researchers using a MEG/EEG recording of brain activity to study neural mechanisms of auditory processing and speech
- Gives an important overview and methodological background for techniques that are useful in human auditory-neuroscience
