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

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 …

To shed light on how humans can learn to understand music, we need to discover what the
perceptual capabilities with which infants are born. Beat induction, the detection of a regular …

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 …

Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

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 …

Learning, the foundation of adaptive and intelligent behavior, is based on plastic changes in
neural assemblies, reflected by the modulation of electric brain responses. In infancy …

Magnetic interference signals often hamper analysis of magnetoencephalographic (MEG)
measurements. Artifact sources in the proximity of the sensors cause strong and spatially …

Learning to decode and produce speech is one of the most demanding tasks faced by
infants. Nevertheless, infants typically utter their first words within a year, and phrases soon …

OBJECTIVE: Mismatch negativity (MMN), a change-specific component of the auditory event-
related potential (ERP), is sensitive to deficits in central auditory processing associated with …
