  • Pauses and Intonational Phrasing: ERP Studies in 5-month-old German Infants and Adults.
    We investigate processing of IPBs in 5-month-old infants by varying the acoustic cues signaling the IPB. In an experiment in which p...

  • Non-musicians' perception of phrase boundaries in music: A cross-cultural ERP study.
    We observed a slightly right-lateralized music closure positive shift (CPS), which has been reported as a marker for phrase boundary...
