“…These sounds could be sub-grouped from different categories of sound (musical instruments, birds, etc.). It is possible that certain highly salient and relevant sounds, such as human voices (Perrin et al, 1999; Pratt et al, 1999) or sounds having an emotional context (Pinheiro et al, 2016, 2017) might be processed more extensively than others. Unfortunately, it was not possible to average the various sub-categories of environmental sounds.…”

Evidence of P3a During Sleep, a Process Associated With Intrusions Into Consciousness in the Waking State

et al. 2019

The present study examines processes associated with intrusions into consciousness during an unconscious state, natural sleep. The definition of sleep is still much debated. Almost all researchers agree that sleep onset represents a gradual loss of consciousness of the external environment. For sleep to be beneficial, it needs to remain as undisturbed as possible. Nevertheless, unlike other unconsciousness states, sleep is reversible. For purposes of survival, it is critical that the sleeper be able to “detect” and perhaps become conscious of highly relevant biological or personal information. Therefore, even in sleep, the brain must decide whether a new incoming stimulus is relevant and if so, may require an arousal to wakefulness, or whether it is irrelevant and can be gated to prevent disruption of sleep. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were used to measure the extent processing of auditory stimuli some of which elicited an ERP component, the P3a, in the waking state. The P3a is associated with processes resulting in the interruption of frontal central executive, leading to conscious awareness. Very little research has focused on the occurrence of the P3a during sleep. A multi-feature paradigm was used to examine the processing of a frequently occurring “standard” stimulus and six rarely occurring different “deviant” stimuli during wakefulness, NREM, and REM sleep. A P3a was elicited by novel environmental sounds and white noise bursts in the waking state, replicating previous studies. Other deviant stimuli (changes in pitch, intensity, duration) failed to do so. The ERPs indicated that processing of the stimuli that did not elicit a P3a in wakefulness were much inhibited during both NREM and REM sleep. Surprisingly, those deviants that did elicit a P3a in wakefulness continued to do so in stage N2 and REM sleep. The subject did not, however, awaken. These results suggest processes leading to consciousness in wakefulness may still remain active during sleep possibly allowing subjects to act on potentially highly relevant input. This may also explain how sleep can be reversed if the stimulus input is sufficiently critical.

“…Indeed, past trauma has been shown to affect processes related to detection of basic auditory stimulus features 110 . These processes also change with affective state 111 . Relatedly, unusual experiences have also recently been linked to absorption and social expectations 112 , providing some evidence that such high-level social expectations can be linked not only to perception in the laboratory, but unusual perceptual experiences as they exist in clinical settings.…”

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have traditionally been thought to be outside the influence of conscious control. However, recent work with voice hearers makes clear that both treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking voice hearers may exert varying degrees of control over their voices. Evidence suggests that this ability may be a key factor in determining health status, but little systematic examination of control in AVH has been carried out. This review provides an overview of the research examining control over AVH in both treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking populations. We first examine the relationship between control over AVH and health status as well as the psychosocial factors that may influence control and functioning. We then link control to various cognitive constructs that appear to be important for voice hearing. Finally, we reconcile the possibility of control with the field's current understanding of the proposed cognitive, computational, and neural underpinnings of hallucinations and perception more broadly. Established relationships between control, health status, and functioning suggest that the development of control over AVH could increase functioning and reduce distress. A more detailed understanding of the discrete types of control, their development, and their neural underpinnings is essential for translating this knowledge into new therapeutic approaches.

“…Finally, not only the auditory stimulus itself, but also the context in which it is presented seems to affect preattentive change detection processes. In an oddball paradigm using both intensity and frequency deviants of pure tones, Pinheiro et al (2017a) reported a smaller MMN in response to deviants presented when participants looked at negative images compared to both positive and neutral images. Similarly, MMN responses to happy two-syllable deviants have shorter peak latencies when participants receive fear-reducing testosterone rather than placebo (Chen et al, 2014a).…”

Happy you, happy me: expressive changes on a stranger’s voice recruit faster implicit processes than self-produced expressions

In social interactions, people have to pay attention both to the what and who. In particular, expressive changes heard on speech signals have to be integrated with speaker identity, differentiating e.g. self-and otherproduced signals. While previous research has shown that self-related visual information processing is facilitated compared to non-self stimuli, evidence in the auditory modality remains mixed. Here, we compared electroencephalography (EEG) responses to expressive changes in sequence of self-or other-produced speech sounds, using a mismatch negativity (MMN) passive oddball paradigm. Critically, to control for speaker differences, we used programmable acoustic transformations to create voice deviants which differed from standards in exactly the same manner, making EEG responses to such deviations comparable between sequences. Our results indicate that expressive changes on a stranger's voice are highly prioritized in auditory processing compared to identical changes on the selfvoice. Other-voice deviants generate earlier MMN onset responses and involve stronger cortical activations in a left motor and somatosensory network suggestive of an increased recruitment of resources for less internally predictable, and therefore perhaps more socially relevant, signals.
