An asymmetry in the automatic detection of the presence or absence of a frequency modulation within a tone: A mismatch negativity study

An asymmetry in the automatic detection of the presence or absence of a frequency modulation within a tone: A mismatch negativity study

The infrequent occurrence of a transient feature (deviance; e.g. frequency modulation, FM) in one of the regular occurring sinusoidal tones (standards) elicits the deviance related mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related brain potential. Based on a memory-based comparison, MMN refle...
