“…In trials with distracting sounds, both groups displayed a similar reaction time (RT) pattern: participants were faster after early distracting sounds and slower after late distracting sounds, than with no distractors. This pattern could be explained in light of the effects triggered by distracting sounds (Bidet-Caulet et al, 2014; Masson and Bidet-Caulet, 2018): (1) a persistent increase in arousal resulting in a RT reduction and (2) a strong transient attentional capture (orienting) effect associated with a RT augmentation. The behavioral net effect of distracting sound varies according to the time interval between the distracting and the target sounds.…”

“…Moreover, planned analyses of the CUE BENEFIT were carried out between groups on the differences in RTs Uninformative NoDIS – Informative NoDIS and of distractor effects on the differences in RTs NoDIS – DIS1 (as a measure of the AROUSAL BENEFIT) or DIS2 – DIS1 (as a measure of ATENTION CAPTURE COST), using non-paired t-tests (Bidet-Caulet et al 2014; Masson and Bidet-Caulet 2018).…”

Attention operates through top-down (TD) and bottom-up (BU) mechanisms. Recently, it has been shown that slow (alpha) frequencies index facilitatory and suppressive mechanisms of TD attention and faster (gamma) frequencies signal BU attentional capture. Ageing is characterized by increased behavioral distractibility, resulting from either a reduced efficiency of TD attention or an enhanced triggering of BU attention. However, only few studies have investigated the impact of ageing upon the oscillatory activities involved in TD and BU attention. MEG data were collected from 14 elderly and 14 matched young healthy human participants while performing the Competitive Attention Task. Elderly participants displayed (1) exacerbated behavioral distractibility, (2) altered TD suppressive mechanisms, indexed by a reduced alpha synchronization in task-irrelevant regions, (3) less prominent alpha peak-frequency differences between cortical regions, (4) a similar BU system activation indexed by gamma activity, and (5) a reduced activation of lateral prefrontal inhibitory control regions. These results show that the ageing-related increased distractibility is of TD origin.

“…Interestingly, in the analyses keeping interval size constant, IC modulated the amplitude of a later component in the case of large intervals. This effect could be interpreted as a P3, a component associated with the orientation of attention and the engagement of higher-order cognitive processes (Masson & Bidet-Caulet, 2019;Polich & Criado, 2006;Squires, Squires, & Hillyard, 1975). Notably, in the first EEG study using IDyOM as a model of expectedness, surprising tones generated a similar positive late response that was larger for unexpected than expected sounds (Pearce, Ruiz, Kapasi, Wiggins, & Bhattacharya, 2010).…”

AbstractNeural responses to auditory surprise are typically studied with highly unexpected, disruptive sounds. Consequently, little is known about auditory prediction in everyday contexts that are characterized by fine-grained, non-disruptive fluctuations of auditory surprise. To address this issue, we used IDyOM, a computational model of auditory expectation, to obtain continuous surprise estimates for a set of newly composed melodies. Our main goal was to assess whether the neural correlates of non-disruptive surprising sounds in a musical context are affected by musical expertise. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), auditory responses were recorded from musicians and non-musicians while they listened to the melodies. Consistent with a previous study, the amplitude of the N1m component increased with higher levels of computationally estimated surprise. This effect, however, was not different between the two groups. Further analyses offered an explanation for this finding: Pitch interval size itself, rather than probabilistic prediction, was responsible for the modulation of the N1m, thus pointing to low-level sensory adaptation as the underlying mechanism. In turn, the formation of auditory regularities and proper probabilistic prediction were reflected in later components: the mismatch negativity (MMNm) and the P3am, respectively. Overall, our findings reveal a hierarchy of expectations in the auditory system and highlight the need to properly account for sensory adaptation in research addressing statistical learning.Highlights- In melodies, sound expectedness (modeled with IDyOM) is associated with the amplitude of the N1m.- This effect is not different between musicians and non-musicians.- Sensory adaptation related to melodic pitch intervals explains better the N1m effect.- Auditory regularities and the expectations captured by IDyOM are reflected in the MMNm and P3am.- Evidence for a hierarchy of auditory predictions during melodic listening.

“…Early distracting sounds (DIS1) decreased reaction times compared to the condition without distractor (NoDIS). This facilitation effect has been previously interpreted as an increase in phasic arousal which improves readiness to respond to any incoming stimulus [6,37].…”

This multisensory disturbance may arise from a dysfunction of topdown and/or bottom-up attention which would lead to the inability to filter out irrelevant information and a state of sensory overload. We used a recent paradigm to evaluate jointly top-down and bottomup attention among migraineurs and healthy controls using visually-cued target sounds and unexpected task-irrelevant distracting sounds. Behavioral responses and MEG/EEG were recorded. At the behavioral level, neither top-down nor bottom-up attentional processes appeared to be altered in migraine. However, migraineurs presented heightened evoked responses following distracting sounds (orienting component of the N1 and Re-Orienting Negativity, RON) and following target sounds (orienting component of the N1), concomitant to an increased recruitment of the right temporo-parietal junction. They also displayed an increased effect of the cue informational value on target processing resulting in the elicitation of a negative difference (Nd). Based on these results, migraineurs appear to present an increased bottom-up orienting response to all incoming sounds, and an enhanced recruitment of top-down attention. We propose that the interictal state in migraine is characterized by a dysfunction of bottom-up attention and that the hyperfunction of top-downattention acts as a compensatory mechanism enabling them to maintain adequate task-efficiency.These attentional alterations might participate to the disruptions of sensory processing in migraine.
