Evoked potentials provide valuable insight into brain processes that are integral to our ability
to interact effectively and efficiently in the world. The mismatch negativity (MMN) component …

An increasing number of studies investigate the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) or use
the vMMN as a tool to probe various aspects of human cognition. This paper reviews the …

The auditory system essentially deals with sequential type of input and thus requires
processing that is particularly suited to extract stimulus relations within a sequence …

The specific adaptation of neuronal responses to a repeated stimulus (Stimulus-specific
adaptation, SSA), which does not fully generalize to other stimuli, provides a mechanism for …

Predictive coding (PC) posits that the brain uses a generative model to infer the
environmental causes of its sensory data and uses precision-weighted prediction errors …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that rare and unexpected changes in an otherwise
repetitive or structured sound sequence ineluctably break through selective attention and …

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 …

Neural activity in the auditory system decreases with repeated stimulation, matching
stimulus probability in multiple timescales. This phenomenon, known as stimulus-specific …

Sleep entails a disconnection from the external environment. By and large, sensory stimuli
do not trigger behavioral responses and are not consciously perceived as they usually are in …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) in single neurons of the auditory cortex was suggested to
be a potential neural correlate of the mismatch negativity (MMN), a widely studied …
