Predictive coding is possibly one of the most influential, comprehensive, and controversial
theories of neural function. While proponents praise its explanatory potential, critics object …

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 mismatch negativity (MMN) is thought to index the activation of specialized neural
networks for active prediction and deviance detection. However, a detailed neuronal model …

In this article, we review clinical research using the mismatch negativity (MMN), a change-
detection response of the brain elicited even in the absence of attention or behavioural task …

In this review, we will present a model of brain events leading to conscious perception in
audition. This represents an updated version of Näätänen's previous model of automatic and …

The extent to which we are affected by perceptual input of which we are unaware is widely
debated. By measuring neural responses to sensory stimulation, neuroscientific data could …

Cognition is often affected in a variety of neuropsychiatric, neurological, and
neurodevelopmental disorders. The neural discriminative response, reflected in mismatch …

The mismatch-negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potential (ERP) has been
extensively used to study the preattentive processing and storage of regularities in basic …

Cognitive impairment is a core element shared by a large number of different neurological
and neuropsychiatric diseases. Irrespective of their different aetiologies and …

In this article, we present a new view on the nature of cognitive processes suggesting that
there is a common core, viz., automatic sensory–cognitive processes that form the basis for …
