“…For this particular case predominantly patients with the MCI had the positive amplitudes and therefore a compensatory mechanism, analogous to changes accompanying aging in vision (Stothart et al, 2013), might explain the vMMP. Furthermore, depression severity, assessed by the Hamilton Rating Scale of Depression, was found to be associated to the vMMN in the study by Chang et al (2011) but not in the study by Qiu et al (2011).…”

The visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) response is an event-related potential (ERP) component, which is automatically elicited by events that violate predictions based on prior events. VMMN experiments use visual stimulus repetition to induce predictions, and vMMN is obtained by subtracting the response to rare unpredicted stimuli from those to frequent stimuli. One increasingly popular interpretation of the mismatch response postulates that vMMN, similar to its auditory counterpart (aMMN), represents a prediction error response generated by cortical mechanisms forming probabilistic representations of sensory signals. Here we discuss the physiological and theoretical basis of vMMN and review thirty-three studies from the emerging field of its clinical applications, presenting a meta-analysis of findings in schizophrenia, mood disorders, substance abuse, neurodegenerative disorders, developmental disorders, deafness, panic disorder and hypertension. Furthermore, we include reports on aging and maturation as they bear upon many clinically relevant conditions. Surveying the literature we found that vMMN is altered in several clinical populations which is in line with aMMN findings. An important potential advantage of vMMN however is that it allows the investigation of deficits in predictive processing in cognitive domains which rely primarily on visual information; a principal sensory modality and thus of vital importance in environmental information processing and response, and a modality which arguably may be more sensitive to some pathological changes. However, due to the relative infancy of research in vMMN compared to aMMN in clinical populations its potential for clinical application is not yet fully appreciated. The aim of this review and meta-analysis therefore is to present, in a detailed systematic manner, the findings from clinically-based vMMN studies, to discuss their potential impact and application, to raise awareness of this measure and to improve our understanding of disease upon fundamental aspects of visual information processing. Furthermore, we include reports on aging and maturation as they bear upon many clinically relevant conditions.

“…Visual MMN and the visual N1 difference can also be reliably dissociated through the use of infrequent energetic decrements, which are considered to elicit visual MMN but do not yield the visual N1 difference (e.g., contrast/luminance decrements, Kimura et al, 2008cKimura et al, , 2010cKimura et al, , 2010dStagg et al, 2004;size decrements, Kimura et al, 2008a; for corresponding brain imaging findings, see e.g., Gardner et al, 2005; for corresponding auditory MMN findings, see e.g., Näätänen et al, 1989a;Woldorff et al, 1991), infrequent duration deviants, which are considered to elicit visual MMN but do not yield the visual N1 difference (Khodanovich et al, 2010;Qiu et al, 2011; for corresponding auditory MMN findings, see e.g., Jacobsen and Schröger, 2003;Kaukoranta et al, 1989;Näätänen et al, 1989b), and occasional stimulus omission in constant successive visual stimulation, which is thought to elicit visual MMN but cannot elicit visual N1 itself (Czigler et al, 2006b; for corresponding auditory MMN findings, see e.g., Tervaniemi et al, 1994;Yabe et al, 1997). In addition, the visual N1 difference problem does not become critical under the use of more complex, non-oddball stimulus sequences where individual stimuli are usually presented with equal probability (Czigler et al, 2006a;Kimura et al, 2011a;Stefanics et al, 2011; the details of stimulus sequences will be shown in Section 2.2).…”

“…Up to now, vMMN has been obtained to differences in several visual features, such as stimulus color (Czigler et al, 2002, 2004; Clifford et al, 2010), location (Berti and Schröger, 2004, 2006), luminance (Stagg et al, 2004), orientation (Astikainen et al, 2004, 2008; Kimura et al, 2009 for left/right hands with different orientation see Stefanics and Czigler, 2012), spacial frequency (Kenemans et al, 2010; Sulykos and Czigler, 2011), duration of the visual stimulus (Qiu et al, 2011), motion direction changes (Lorenzo-López et al, 2004; Pazo-Alvarez et al, 2004a; Kremláček et al, 2006; Amenedo et al, 2007), as well as more abstract sequential regularities (Stefanics et al, 2011; Kimura et al, 2012), object formation (Müller et al, 2010) or deformation (Besle et al, 2005) and stimuli carrying emotional content (Zhao and Li, 2006; Astikainen and Hietanen, 2009; Kimura et al, 2012; Stefanics et al, 2012). As Sulykos and Czigler (2011) have already pointed out, a vast majority of vMMN studies have concentrated on the automatic processing of features that are supposed to be processed by the parvocellular system.…”

Visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) is a negative-going component amongst cognitive event-related potentials. It reflects an automatic change-detection process that occurs when an infrequent stimulus is presented that is incongruent with the representation of a frequent (standard) event. In our research we use visual motion (more specifically motion direction changes) to study vMMN. Since movement in the visual field is quite irresistible to our brain, the question in hand is, if the detection of motion direction changes is dependent on attention directed to the stimulus. We present a new continuous whole-display stimulus configuration, where the attention capturing primary task of motion onset detection is in the central part of the visual display and visual oddball sequence on the background. The visual oddball paradigm consisted of 85% standard and 15% deviant events, motion direction change being the deviant. We show that even though the unattended visual oddball sequence does not affect the performance in the demanding behavioral primary task, the differences appearing in that sequence are noticed by our brain and reflected in two distinguishable vMMN components in occipital and parietal scalp locations. When attention is directed toward the visual oddball sequence, we only see different processing of standards and deviants in later time-windows and task-related activity in frontal scalp location. Our results are obtained under strict attention manipulation conditions.
