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

Detection of changes in the acoustic environment is critical for survival, as it prevents
missing potentially relevant events outside the focus of attention. In humans, deviance …

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 …

The fast detection of novel or deviant stimuli is a striking property of the auditory processing
which reflects basic organizational principles of the auditory system and at the same time is …

The ability to detect unexpected stimuli in the acoustic environment and determine their
behavioral relevance to plan an appropriate reaction is critical for survival. This perspective …

Neuronal adaptation is a ubiquitous property of the cortex. This review presents evidence
from MMN studies that show ERP components with similar adaptive properties. Specifically, I …

Predictive coding theories posit that neural networks learn statistical regularities in the
environment for comparison with actual outcomes, signaling a prediction error (PE) when …

Deviancy detection in the continuous flow of sensory information into the central nervous
system is of vital importance for animals. The task requires neuronal mechanisms that allow …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a pre-attentive auditory event-related potential (ERP)
component that is elicited by a change in a repetitive acoustic pattern. It is obtained by …

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 …
