“…This suggests that the relatively greater right than left hemisphere activation in these areas is not dependent on either task salience or specific characteristics of deviant stimuli. Rather, these areas of greater right-sided activity might be primarily modulated by a generalized process of stimulus monitoring in working memory or stimulus categorization, respectively.However, previous ERP and MEG studies raise the possibility that the greater right hemisphere activity observed in the current study may reflect the function of a mismatch detection neural network in inferior frontal cortex (Alain et al, 1998;Deouell et al, 1998;Di Salle et al, 2001;Giard et al, 1990;Muller et al, 2002;Naatanen et al, 1997;Paavilainen et al, 1991) and right temporal lobe (Alain et al, 1998;Deouell et al, 1998;Giard et al, 1990;Naatanen et al, 1997;Paavilainen et al, 1991). Alternatively, the lateralized activity may be related to cognitive phenomena reflected in other ERP components elicited by rare events during auditory oddball tasks.…”

Evidence from neuroimaging studies suggests that the right hemisphere of the human brain might be more specialized for attention than the left hemisphere. However, differences between right and left hemisphere in the magnitude of hemodynamic activity (i.e., 'functional asymmetry') rarely have been explicitly examined in previous neuroimaging studies of attention. This study used a new voxelbased comparison method to examine hemispheric differences in the amplitude of the hemodynamic response in response to infrequent target, infrequent novel, and frequent standard stimuli during an event-related fMRI auditory oddball task in 100 healthy adult participants. Processing of low probability task-relevant target stimuli, or 'oddballs', and low probability task-irrelevant novel stimuli is believed to engage in orienting and attentional processes. It was hypothesized that greater right-hemisphere activation compared to left would be observed to infrequent target and novel stimuli. Consistent with predictions, greater right hemisphere than left frontal, temporal, and parietal lobe activity was observed for target detection and novelty processing. Moreover, asymmetry effects did not differ with respect to age or gender of the participants. The results (1) support the proposal that the right hemisphere is differentially engaged in processing salient stimuli and (2) demonstrate the successful use of a new voxel-based laterality analysis technique for fMRI data. KeywordsOddball; MRI; Brain; Asymmetry; Cognition Attention is believed to involve a distinctive neural network that interacts with other brain systems to facilitate various cognitive processes. Although there are many different operational definitions of attention, it is generally agreed that attention functions to orient to sensory events, to detect specific signals for subsequent processing, and to maintain vigilance over time (Posner and Petersen, 1990). Previous studies have examined attention by measuring brain activity to target stimuli in the context of 'oddball' tasks. Oddball tasks require detection of infrequent target stimuli within the context of frequently presented standard stimuli (Polich and Kok, 1995;Sutton et al., 1965)-for example, the detection of an occasional high-pitched tone in a sequence of low-pitched tones. The process of detecting salient target stimuli is believed to require orienting and allocation of attention, while vigilance is required to maintain task performance. Brain activity during oddball tasks is frequently measured by averaging taskrelated electroencephalogram recordings to produce event-related potentials (ERPs).

“…For time window 90-160 ms, the 3 (Deviant type: EP, E, and P) 9 3 (Region: frontal, central, and parietal) 9 3 (Hemisphere: left, middle, and right) repeated ANOVA reveals a significant main effect for Deviant type, F (2, 52) = 11.55, p \ .01, g p 2 = .31, demonstrating that the difference waveform evoked by deviants in the EP condition [Mean Amplitudes (MA = -1.85 lV)] was more negative (p = .07, marginally significantly) than that in the E condition (MA = -1.05 lV); and in turn more negative than that in the P condition (MA = -0.14 lV) significantly (p \ .05). The main effect on the brain region was also significant, F (2, 52) = 7.53, p \ .01, g p 2 = .22, and a typical fronto-central distributed pattern of mismatch negative waveform was observed (Müller et al 2002;Näätänen et al 2010). Brain responses were more negative in the frontal and central than in the parietal region (ps \ .05); no difference between the frontal and central regions was observed (p [ .1).…”

In this study, we tested the underlying mechanisms of early emotional prosody perception, especially examined whether change detection in oddball paradigm was caused by emotional category and physical properties. Using implicit oddball paradigms, the current study manipulated the cues for detecting deviant stimuli from standards in three conditions: the simultaneous changes in emotional category and physical properties (EP condition), change in emotional category alone (E condition), and change in physical properties alone (P condition). ERP results revealed that physical property change increased brain responses to deviant stimuli in the EP than in the E condition at early stage 90-160 ms, suggesting that physical property change of emotional sounds can also be detected at the early stage. At the later stage 160-260 ms, the simultaneous and respective changes in emotional category and physical properties were reliably detected, and the sum of the brain responses to the corresponding changes in E and P conditions was equal to the brain responses to the simultaneous changes in EP condition. Source analysis further revealed that stimuli-driven regions (inferior parietal lobule), temporal and frontal cortices were activated at early stage, while only frontal cortices for higher cognitive processing were activated at later stage. These findings suggest that emotional prosody changes in physical properties and emotion category are perceived as domain-general change information in emotional prosody perception.

“…It has been argued that the inverted-polarity MMN recorded at mastoid scalp electrodes reflects activity from the STG, while the MMN obtained at fronto-central electrodes picks up activity from frontal sources in addition (Giard et al, 1990;Alho, 1995;Jääskeläinen et al, 1996). The notion of a "temporal" and "frontal" MMN component (Näätänen and Michie, 1979;Näätä-nen, 1992;Muller et al, 2002;Doeller et al, 2003) is also important for the current investigation. An enhanced theta ITC but no ERSP changes found at the mastoid electrodes (see Figs.…”
