In this review, we attempt to integrate the empirical evidence regarding stimulus-specific
adaptation (SSA) and mismatch negativity (MMN) under a predictive coding perspective …

Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

Perception is characterized by a reciprocal exchange of predictions and prediction error
signals between neural regions. However, the relationship between such sensory mismatch …

Reliably detecting unexpected sounds is important for environmental awareness and
survival. By selectively reducing responses to frequently, but not rarely, occurring sounds …

The early stages of the auditory system need to preserve the timing information of sounds in
order to extract the basic features of acoustic stimuli. At the same time, different processes of …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is the reduction in the response to a common stimulus
that does not generalize, or only partially generalizes, to other, rare stimuli. SSA has been …

A major challenge for sensory processing in the brain is considering stimulus context, such
as stimulus probability, which may be relevant for survival. Excitatory neurons in auditory …

To follow an ever-changing auditory scene, the auditory brain is continuously creating a
representation of the past to form expectations about the future. Unexpected events will …

Stimulus-specific adaptation is a hallmark of sensory processing in which a repeated
stimulus results in diminished successive neuronal responses, but a deviant stimulus will …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is the reduction in responses to frequent stimuli
(standards) that does not generalize to rare stimuli (deviants). We investigated the …
