This paper describes recommended methods for the use of event-related brain potentials
(ERPs) in clinical research and reviews applications to a variety of psychiatric and …

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 …

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 …

In autism, severe abnormalities in social behavior coexist with aberrant attention and
deficient language. In the attentional domain, attention to people and socially relevant …

Four experiments investigated whether irrelevant sounds can influence the perception of
lights in a visual temporal order judgment task, where participants judged which of two lights …

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 …

To better understand whether voluntary attention affects how the brain processes novel
events, variants of the auditory novelty oddball paradigm were presented to two different …

The question of whether the mismatch negativity (MMN) is modulated by attention has been
debated for over a decade. Although the MMN is widely regarded as reflecting a preattentive …

Distraction triggered by unexpected events is generally described in a serial model
comprising (1) automatic detection of unexpected task-irrelevant events,(2) orienting …
