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 …

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

This article reviews recent event-related brain potential (ERP) studies of involuntary
attention and distractibility in response to novelty and change in the acoustic environment …

When one encounters a novel stimulus this sets off a cascade of brain responses, activating
several neuromodulatory systems. As a consequence novelty has a wide range of effects on …

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 …

Musical training has been shown to positively influence linguistic abilities. To follow the
developmental dynamics of this transfer effect at the preattentive level, we conducted a …

Only little systematic research has examined event-related brain potentials (ERPs) elicited
by the cognitive processing of music. The present study investigated how music processing …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a frontal negative deflection in the human event-related
potential that typically occurs when a repeating auditory stimulus changes in some manner …

The present study investigated simultaneous processing of language and music using
visually presented sentences and auditorily presented chord sequences. Music-syntactically …

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 …
