“…Our finding seems to be in contrast to neurophysiological sensory attenuation in the auditory domain, which is commonly reported over the primary auditory N1 response (Baess, Horvath, Jacobsen, & Schroger, 2011;Baess, Jacobsen, & Schroger, 2008;Hughes et al, 2013aHughes et al, , 2013b. They are at a first glance also in contrast to a recent study which showed visual sensory attenuation over the same component that was modulated by stimulus contrast (Roussel et al, 2014).…”

“…The reason why this further N1 amplitude decrement only took place in our predictable timing condition needs more consideration. For example, N1 amplitude decreases with temporal and pitch expectations (Lange, 2009), with previous knowledge of the sequence of stimulation (Clementz et al, 2002), and to self-generated tones (Baess et al, 2011). The common aspect in these different studies is that they support the involvement of predictive mechanisms in N1 amplitude attenuation.…”

Neural activity in the auditory system decreases with repeated stimulation, matching stimulus probability in multiple timescales. This phenomenon, known as stimulus-specific adaptation, is interpreted as a neural mechanism of regularity encoding aiding auditory object formation. However, despite the overwhelming literature covering recordings from single-cell to scalp auditory-evoked potential (AEP), stimulation timing has received little interest. Here we investigated whether timing predictability enhances the experience-dependent modulation of neural activity associated with stimulus probability encoding. We used human electrophysiological recordings in healthy participants who were exposed to passive listening of sound sequences. Pure tones of different frequencies were delivered in successive trains of a variable number of repetitions, enabling the study of sequential repetition effects in the AEP. In the predictable timing condition, tones were delivered with isochronous interstimulus intervals; in the unpredictable timing condition, interstimulus intervals varied randomly. Our results show that unpredictable stimulus timing abolishes the early part of the repetition positivity, an AEP indexing auditory sensory memory trace formation, while leaving the later part (ϳϾ200 ms) unaffected. This suggests that timing predictability aids the propagation of repetition effects upstream the auditory pathway, most likely from association auditory cortex (including the planum temporale) toward primary auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus) and beyond, as judged by the timing of AEP latencies. This outcome calls for attention to stimulation timing in future experiments regarding sensory memory trace formation in AEP measures and stimulus probability encoding in animal models.

“…The importance of systematically exploring this avenue is emphasized by the success of two recent studies implementing contingency-manipulations. The ERP attenuation effects observed by Baess et al (2011), may allow to relate action-related attenuation phenomena to agency attribution, while action-induced auditory activation provides direct evidence for the existence of action-induced sensory templates.…”

“…Extending the Motor-Auditory condition of the contingent paradigm, Baess et al (2011) interspersed externally initiated tones with the tone sequence produced by the participants' own button presses. It was found that N1 attenuation for the self-induced sounds was stronger in this "mixed" condition than in the condition in which only tones initiated by the participants' actions were present.…”

A number studies have shown that the auditory N1 event-related potential (ERP) is attenuated when elicited by self-induced or self-generated sounds. Because N1 is a correlate of auditory feature-and event-detection, it was generally assumed that N1-attenuation reflected the cancellation of auditory re-afference, enabled by the internal forward modeling of the predictable sensory consequences of the given action. Focusing on paradigms utilizing non-speech actions, the present review summarizes recent progress on action-related auditory attenuation. Following a critical analysis of the most widely used, contingent paradigm, two further hypotheses on the possible causes of action-related auditory ERP attenuation are presented. The attention hypothesis suggests that auditory ERP attenuation is brought about by a temporary division of attention between the action and the auditory stimulation. The preactivation hypothesis suggests that the attenuation is caused by the activation of a sensory template during the initiation of the action, which interferes with the incoming stimulation.Although each hypothesis can account for a number of findings, none of them can accommodate the whole spectrum of results. It is suggested that a better understanding of auditory ERP attenuation phenomena could be achieved by systematic investigations of the types of actions, the degree of action-effect contingency, and the temporal characteristics of action-effect contingency representation-buildup and -deactivation.3
