Abstract
⺠We suggest a new MEG paradigm to test auditory and linguistic processing in the brain. ⺠Initial enhanced oddball response reflects automatic neural auditory discrimination. ⺠P3a response only to spoken stimuli indicates involuntary attention shift to language. ⺠A larger pseudoword than word response reflects neural processes of lexical search. ⺠Different levels of auditory linguistic processing can be tested in one simple design.
