“…The width of the temporal window of integration was evaluated by several studies on human MMN, e.g., 150 ∼ 170 ms (Yabe et al 1997), ∼ 200 ms (Winkler et al 1998), 200 ∼ 250 ms (Tervaniemi et al 1994). The authors determined the width of the temporal windows to be 300 ∼ 400 ms (Kanoh et al 2001), which was longer than that reported by other authors.…”

The human sequential grouping that organizes parts of tones into a group was examined by the mismatch negativity (MMN), a component of event-related potentials that reveals the sensory memory process. The sequential grouping is accomplished by the combinations of some factors, e.g., temporal and frequency proximity principles. In this study, auditory oddball stimuli in which each of the stimuli consisted of series of tone bursts, were applied to the subjects, and the MMN elicited by the deviation of the frequency of the last tone in the stimulus was investigated. The relationship between the expected phenomena of sequential grouping of tones and observed magnitudes of MMN was evaluated. It was shown that the magnitudes of MMN changed according to the configuration (number of tones, frequency) of tone sequence to be stored. This result suggested that the sequential grouping of presented tones was achieved on the preattentive auditory sensory memory process. It was also shown that the relative change of MMN magnitudes corresponded to the conditions of sequential grouping, which had been proposed by the auditory psychophysical studies. The investigation of MMN properties could reveal the nature of auditory sequential grouping.

“…For example, unidimensional MMNs for frequency and duration are additive when they occur at similar latencies (Levänen, Hari, McEvoy, & Sams, 1993), whereas they are subadditive when they are separated by $70 msec (Czigler & Winkler, 1996), which is very similar to the present latency difference between the ATT and SCG MMNs. When the latency difference is larger than 200 msec, then two individualized responses are recorded for bidimensional deviants (e.g., Winkler, Czigler, Jaramillo, Paavilainen, & Näätänen, 1998, for intensity and frequency glide direction). It is also possible that in the present data, there is a combination of the two effects (P3a superposition and MMN subadditivity for critical latency differences).…”

Abstract& Timbre is a multidimensional perceptual attribute of complex tones that characterizes the identity of a sound source. Our study explores the representation in auditory sensory memory of three timbre dimensions (acoustically related to attack time, spectral centroid, and spectrum fine structure), using the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the auditory event-related potential. MMN is elicited by a discriminable change in a sound sequence and reflects the detection of the discrepancy between the current stimulus and traces in auditory sensory memory. The stimuli used in the present study were carefully controlled synthetic tones. MMNs were recorded after changes along each of the three timbre dimensions and their combinations. Additivity of unidimensional MMNs and dipole modeling results suggest partially separate MMN generators for different timbre dimensions, reflecting their mainly separate processing in auditory sensory memory. The results expand to timbre dimensions a property of separation of the representation in sensory memory that has already been reported between basic perceptual attributes (pitch, loudness, duration, and location) of sound sources. &

“…Relevant for the current study are the MMN results regarding the detection of violations of temporal regularities. The MMN has been elicited by occasional decreases and increases in stimulus duration (Näätänen et al 1989;Winkler et al, 1996), shortenings of the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA; onset-to-onset interval) and the inter-stimulus interval (ISI; offset-to-onset interval; Nordby et al, 1988;Takegata et al, 2001), stimulus omissions (Yabe et al, 1997), and infrequent changes in the temporal structure of complex sounds (Grimm and Schröger, 2005;Winkler et al, 1998) and sound patterns (Müller and Schröger, 2007;Takegata et al, 2005;Winkler and Schröger, 1995). These studies provided evidence that the various temporal aspects of auditory stimulation are encoded in the memory underlying the MMN response and that the MMN is elicited by violations of temporal expectations (for a review, see Czigler et al, 2003).…”

Correctly processing rapid sequences of sounds is essential for developmental milestones, such as language acquisition. We investigated the sensitivity of two-month-old infants to violations of a temporal regularity, by recording event-related brain potentials (ERP) in an auditory oddball paradigm from 36 waking and 40 sleeping infants. Standard tones were presented at a regular 300 ms inter-stimulus interval (ISI). One deviant, otherwise identical to the standard, was preceded by a 100 ms ISI. Two other deviants, presented with the standard ISI, differed from the standard in their spectral makeup. We found significant differences between ERP responses elicited by the standard and each of the deviant sounds. The results suggest that the ability to extract both temporal and spectral regularities from a sound sequence is already functional within the first few months of life.The scalp distribution of all three deviant-stimulus responses was influenced by the infants" state of alertness.
