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

Consciousness is subjective experience. During both sleep and anesthesia, consciousness
is common, evidenced by dreaming. A defining feature of dreaming is that, while conscious …

Can conscious processing be inferred from neurophysiological measurements? Some
models stipulate that the active maintenance of perceptual representations across time …

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 …

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 …

The hypothesis that sleep participates in the consolidation of recent memory traces has
been investigated using four main paradigms:(1) effects of post-training sleep deprivation on …

Methods: Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) to the subject's own name and to seven other
first names were recorded in ten normal adults during wakefulness, in both passive listening …

Objective 1) To determine whether an adult-like mismatch negativity (MMN) can be reliably
elicited in typically developing awake infants and preschool children, and if so 2) to examine …

Sleep suppresses the ability to react to environmental demands. It has been proposed that a
phenomenon of sensory isolation, whereby sensory inputs fail to reach cortical brain regions …

Cortical oscillations in the range of alpha activity (8–13 Hz) are one of the fundamental
electrophysiological phenomena of the human electroencephalogram (EEG). Evidence from …
