“…This sequence requires a smaller number of different stimuli than for a manystandards control sequence, with the highest and lowest frequencies being equivalent to deviant stimuli in the oddball sequences, and the second highest and lowest frequency stimuli corresponding to the standards used in the oddball paradigms ( Figure 1D). Therefore, in this sequence, the following criteria are met: (i) the cascade control sequence is a regular pattern, and the occurrence of high and low frequency control tones at the extremes of the cascade sequence do not violate the predicted model of regularity for the sequence, (ii) the response to the deviant sound in the control sequence has undergone equal adaptation as the response to the oddball deviant, and (iii) that the control sound is always preceded by the sound used as a standard in the oddball sequences (Ruhnau et al, 2012).…”

“…The so-called cascade control sequence has been developed to provide this more stringent test and has been used in human MMN research (Ruhnau et al, 2012). However, it is probably only suitable as a control for frequency (pitch) deviants.…”

“…For example, most studies of MMN have not dissociated N1 refractoriness effects from the memory-based MMN (19,20). When measures are taken to isolate the MMN from N1 refractoriness effects, the MMR has a longer latency than when the traditional MMN (deviant-standard) derivation is used (20)(21)(22)(23). We used the traditional contrast of deviant-standard.…”

Predictive coding theories posit that neural networks learn statistical regularities in the environment for comparison with actual outcomes, signaling a prediction error (PE) when sensory deviation occurs. PE studies in audition have capitalized on low-frequency event-related potentials (LF-ERPs), such as the mismatch negativity. However, local cortical activity is well-indexed by higher-frequency bands [high-γ band (Hγ): 80-150 Hz]. We compared patterns of human Hγ and LF-ERPs in deviance detection using electrocorticographic recordings from subdural electrodes over frontal and temporal cortices. Patients listened to trains of task-irrelevant tones in two conditions differing in the predictability of a deviation from repetitive background stimuli (fully predictable vs. unpredictable deviants). We found deviance-related responses in both frequency bands over lateral temporal and inferior frontal cortex, with an earlier latency for Hγ than for LF-ERPs. Critically, frontal Hγ activity but not LF-ERPs discriminated between fully predictable and unpredictable changes, with frontal cortex sensitive to unpredictable events. The results highlight the role of frontal cortex and Hγ activity in deviance detection and PE generation.predictive coding | prediction error | mismatch negativity | frontal cortex | high γ-activity

“…An elegant method to control for effects both for physical features and probability is to use an equal probability control condition (Jacobsen & Schr€ oger, 2001;Ruhnau, Herrmann, & Schr€ oger, 2012;Schr€ oger, 1997;Schr€ oger & Wolff, 1996). For each disorder in the following sections we show scalp plots of group differences indicating altered deviance processing in a variety of disorders.…”

The visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) response is an event-related potential (ERP) component, which is automatically elicited by events that violate predictions based on prior events. VMMN experiments use visual stimulus repetition to induce predictions, and vMMN is obtained by subtracting the response to rare unpredicted stimuli from those to frequent stimuli. One increasingly popular interpretation of the mismatch response postulates that vMMN, similar to its auditory counterpart (aMMN), represents a prediction error response generated by cortical mechanisms forming probabilistic representations of sensory signals. Here we discuss the physiological and theoretical basis of vMMN and review thirty-three studies from the emerging field of its clinical applications, presenting a meta-analysis of findings in schizophrenia, mood disorders, substance abuse, neurodegenerative disorders, developmental disorders, deafness, panic disorder and hypertension. Furthermore, we include reports on aging and maturation as they bear upon many clinically relevant conditions. Surveying the literature we found that vMMN is altered in several clinical populations which is in line with aMMN findings. An important potential advantage of vMMN however is that it allows the investigation of deficits in predictive processing in cognitive domains which rely primarily on visual information; a principal sensory modality and thus of vital importance in environmental information processing and response, and a modality which arguably may be more sensitive to some pathological changes. However, due to the relative infancy of research in vMMN compared to aMMN in clinical populations its potential for clinical application is not yet fully appreciated. The aim of this review and meta-analysis therefore is to present, in a detailed systematic manner, the findings from clinically-based vMMN studies, to discuss their potential impact and application, to raise awareness of this measure and to improve our understanding of disease upon fundamental aspects of visual information processing. Furthermore, we include reports on aging and maturation as they bear upon many clinically relevant conditions.
