Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is the reduction in the response to a common stimulus
that does not generalize, or only partially generalizes, to other, rare stimuli. SSA has been …

In this account, we attempt to integrate two parallel, but thus far, separate lines of research
on auditory novelty detection:(1) human studies of EEG recordings of the mismatch …

Adaptivity is a dynamical feature that is omnipresent in nature, socio-economics, and
technology. For example, adaptive couplings appear in various real-world systems, such as …

Animals depend on fast and reliable detection of novel stimuli in their environment. Neurons
in multiple sensory areas respond more strongly to novel in comparison to familiar stimuli …

Highlights•Nervous systems often show adaptation to the on-going statistics of the sensory
scene.•Such adaptive mechanisms may be expressed as sensitivity to stimulus …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) occurs when neurons decrease their responses to
frequently-presented (standard) stimuli but not, or not as much, to other, rare (deviant) …

The mammalian sensory cortex is composed of multiple types of inhibitory and excitatory
neurons, which form sophisticated microcircuits for processing and transmitting sensory …

Predictive processing, a leading theoretical framework for sensory processing, suggests that
the brain constantly generates predictions on the sensory world and that perception …

Sensory cortices, even of primary regions, are not purely unisensory. Rather, cortical
neurons in sensory cortex show various forms of multisensory interactions. While some …

Rapid detection of novel stimuli that appear suddenly in the surrounding environment is
crucial for an animal's survival. Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) may be an important …
