“…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

“…As opposed to the traditional deviant minus standard subtraction, this procedure avoids contamination by differences in the sensory processing of different types of sounds because the only difference between the two ERPs compared is the status of the sound in the sequence (see Sinkkonen & Tervaniemi, 2000, for a discussion). It also allows minimization of the contribution of refractory neurons to the MMN (see Jacobsen, Schröger, Horenkamp, & Winkler, 2003).…”

Abstract& Timbre is a multidimensional perceptual attribute of complex tones that characterizes the identity of a sound source. Our study explores the representation in auditory sensory memory of three timbre dimensions (acoustically related to attack time, spectral centroid, and spectrum fine structure), using the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the auditory event-related potential. MMN is elicited by a discriminable change in a sound sequence and reflects the detection of the discrepancy between the current stimulus and traces in auditory sensory memory. The stimuli used in the present study were carefully controlled synthetic tones. MMNs were recorded after changes along each of the three timbre dimensions and their combinations. Additivity of unidimensional MMNs and dipole modeling results suggest partially separate MMN generators for different timbre dimensions, reflecting their mainly separate processing in auditory sensory memory. The results expand to timbre dimensions a property of separation of the representation in sensory memory that has already been reported between basic perceptual attributes (pitch, loudness, duration, and location) of sound sources. &

“…Though this phenomenon has been extensively described to occur when two events are presented with a short ISI, i.e. with maximal effects observed with ISI of 500 ms (Jongsma et al, 2000(Jongsma et al, , 1998Besson and Faïta, 1995;Jacobsen et al, 2003) it has also been found that these effects are more pronounced when three or more events are presented (Jongsma et al, 1998;Cardenas et al, 1997). …”
