In the present article, the basic research using the mismatch negativity (MMN) and
analogous results obtained by using the magnetoencephalography (MEG) and other brain …

The sequence of neurophysiological processes elicited in the auditory system by a sound is
analyzed in search of the stage at which the processes carrying sensory information cross …

BACKGROUND: Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an auditory event-related potential that
provides an index of automatic context-dependent information processing and auditory …

The present article outlines the contribution of the mismatch negativity (MMN), and its
magnetic equivalent MMNm, to our understanding of the perception of speech sounds in the …

Infancy is a time of rapid growth, when brain plasticity is at a maximum. Event-related
potentials (ERPs) are one of the few methods that can easily and safely be used to study this …

Mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related brain potentials has become
popular in cognitive and clinical brain research during the recent years. It is an early …

A variety of studies have demonstrated that organizing stimuli into categories can affect the
way the stimuli are perceived. We explore the influence of categories on perception through …

Predictive coding theories posit that the perceptual system is structured as a hierarchically
organized set of generative models with increasingly general models at higher levels. The …

Which aspects of language and cognitive processing take place irrespective of whether
subjects focus their attention on incoming stimuli and are, in this sense, automatic? The …

Learning to speak a new language requires the formation of recognition patterns for the
speech sounds specific to the newly acquired language. The present study demonstrates …
