“…Namely, high-HA and high-NS subjects showed larger MMN than low-HA subjects and low-NS subjects, respectively. Several studies previously reported relationships between MMN amplitude and personality dimensions such as HA (Hansenne et al, 2003), neuroticism (Wang, Zhu, Pan, Hu, & Wang, 2001), impulsivity (Franken, Nijs, & VanStrier, 2005), or extraversion (Sasaki, Campbell, Gordon Bazana, & Stelmack, 2000). The reason why both BIS- and BAS-related dimensions were occasionally reported to be related to MMN amplitude has still to be clarified, but these results suggest that, asides from emotional differences, personality may influence information cognitive processing, giving support to the notion of personality-related attentional styles.…”
