    Notes: Integration of auditory and visual information was studied in humans detecting targets (i.e., location changes of the auditory, the visual, or both parts of a repetitively presented audiovisual stimulus). Behavioral results suggest that the time advantage to bimodal compared with unimodal targets was due to combined rather than separate processing of the auditory and the visual target information. Event-related brain potential results revealed strong audiovisual interactions supporting interactive and not independent coactivation models. The time course of this interaction suggests that the audiovisual integration occurred after low-level, sensory processing but well before the execution of the motor response.

    Notes: Effects of intermodal attention and of cross-modal links in spatial attention on visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) were investigated in two experiments where participants had to attend to one stimulus modality (audition or vision) to respond to infrequently presented targets whenever these were presented at a relevant location (indicated by a cue). The ERP effects of intermodal attention (measured by comparing the ERPs elicited by visual and auditory stimuli when the respective modality was relevant or irrelevant) were differently distributed in vision and audition, suggesting that intermodal attention operates by a selective modulation of modality-specific areas. Similar ERP effects of spatial attention (measured by comparing the ERPs to stimuli at cued and uncued locations) were elicited at midline electrodes in vision and audition. With one notable exception, these effects were also present when attention was directed within the other modality, suggesting the existence of cross-modal links between vision and audition in the control of transient spatial attention.

    On the detection of auditory deviations: A pre-attentive activation model (1997)

    Notes: The conscious perception of infrequent deviant sounds occurring in a series of frequent standard sounds may in part be based on the output of an obligatorily operating deviance detection system. This system encodes invariances inherent to the recent auditory stimulation into short-lived representations of auditory sensory memory and compares each actual input with these representations. The underlying processes may be regarded as preattentive in the sense that they do not rely on the explicit intention of a person to detect deviants and that they may be active even in the absence of attention (although they may be prone to attentional modulations). The output of this feature-specific preattentive deviance detection system fuses into an integrated mismatch signal that in turn may activate subsequent processes that result in the triggering of a motor response.

    Is there pre-attentive memory-based comparison of pitch? (2001)

    Notes: The brain's responsiveness to changes in sound frequency has been demonstrated by an overwhelming number of studies. Change detection occurs unintentionally and automatically. It is generally assumed that this brain response, the so-called mismatch negativity (MMN) of the event-related brain potential or evoked magnetic field, is based on the outcome of a memory-comparison mechanism rather than being due to a differential state of refractoriness of tonotopically organized cortical neurons. To the authors' knowledge, however, there is no entirely compelling evidence for this belief. An experimental protocol controlling for refractoriness effects was developed and a true memory-comparison-based brain response to pitch change was demonstrated.

    An event-related potential study of sensory representations of unfamiliar tonal patterns (1994)

    Notes: Tonal patterns were delivered to 17 subjects instructed to read a self-selected book and to ignore the auditory stimuli. The standard pattern contained eight 50-ms segments differing in frequency. Infrequent changes of single segments within the pattern elicited negative modulations of the event-related brain potentials (ERPs) as compared with the ERPs elicited by the standard pattern. The change consisted of either a duplication of a single segment or an interchange of two segments within the pattern. Because of the nature of the change, the ERP modulation cannot be explained by a simple refractoriness mechanism or by assuming that the mechanism generating the negative modulation relies on representations of only the spectral but not the temporal information of the pattern. Therefore, the spectral and the temporal information of the tonal patterns were represented by the information processing system on a grain of single segments.

    Processing of auditory deviants with changes in one versus two stimulus dimensions (1995)

    Notes: Auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to 50-ms tones were recorded from the human scalp. A standard stimulus (p= .88) and three different deviants were randomly presented via earphones. There were two one-dimensional deviants (one frequency and one location deviant) and one two-dimensional deviant, with changes in both frequency and location. In one condition, subjects read a book and ignored the auditory stimuli, whereas in another condition they tried to discriminate deviants from standards. In the ignore condition, the two-dimensional deviant elicited an enhanced mismatch negativity (MMN) as compared with the MMNs elicited by the one-dimensional deviants. The temporal and the topographic distributions of the two-dimensional MMNs could be modeled by adding the one-dimensional MMNs. This additivity of the MMNs probably results from the independent activity of separate neural populations generating the frequency and the location MMN. In the attend condition, the deviance-related ERP effects were not additive in the N2b and P3 range, implicating that the neural processes involved in the conscious detection of changes in location and frequency were not independent.

    Working memory controls involuntary attention switching: evidence from an auditory distraction paradigm (2003)

    Notes: One function of working memory is to protect current mental processes against interference. In contrast, to be able to react flexibly on unpredictable environmental changes working memory should not totally be encapsulated from processing task unrelated information; that is, it should remain distractible. By manipulating the task load of the primary task in an auditory distraction paradigm we investigated how these opposing functions are coordinated by working memory. The behavioural results show that distraction effects were still present but reduced markedly with higher task demands. This suggests that working memory exerts some control over involuntary attention. In addition, event-related brain potentials related to the different processing stages reveal that the preattentive change detection system underlying distraction was not modulated by task demand whereas distraction per se was. The present data suggest that working memory is able to coordinate the maintenance of distractibility and the focus on the task at hand.

    From symbols to sounds: Visual symbolic information activates sound representations (2004)

    Notes: Expectations on forthcoming sounds can speed up responding to environmental changes and can, thus, be a basis for successful adaptation. The present study investigated event-related brain potential (ERP) effects in situations where particular sounds were predicted on the basis of preceding visual information. Subjects had to map scorelike visual symbols to corresponding sounds. The sounds could be either congruent or occasionally incongruent with the corresponding symbol. When the auditory stimulation was incongruent with the visual information, a brain response was elicited starting as early as about 100 ms from the onset of the auditory stimulus. It had a bilateral frontal distribution and a polarity inversion at the mastoids compatible with the assumption of sources in auditory cortex. These results suggest that the auditory system can establish a representation of an expected stimulus on the basis of visual symbolic information.

    Auditory streaming affects the processing of successive deviant and standard sounds (2005)

    Notes: This study investigated the temporal relation between two early mechanisms of auditory information processing: the segregation of the auditory input into streams and the automatic deviance detection indicated by the mismatch negativity (MMN). To address this question the processing of successive deviant and standard tones within streaming and nonstreaming conditions was analyzed. In the streaming condition the amplitude reduction of MMN elicited by the second of two successive deviants was found to be smaller for successive deviants presented in different than in same streams. No corresponding MMN differences were obtained in a nonstreaming condition. These results demonstrate that stream segregation precedes deviance detection. Moreover, modulations of the N1 amplitudes elicited by successive standard tones in the streaming condition demonstrate that not only deviance-related processing but even initial sound processing is affected by streaming.

    Pre-attentive perception of vowel phonemes from variable speech stimuli (2004)

    Notes: Understanding speech requires the construction of phonetic representations while abstracting from specific sound features. To understand different speakers of varying pitches of voice, loudness, or timbre, categorical phoneme information needs to be rapidly extracted from dynamic, changing speech input. The present study demonstrated a genuine MMN to tokens of /a/ and /i/ vowels varying in pitch of voice and amplitude envelope when they occurred infrequently among the respective other vowels. These data indicate that the speech perception system pre-attentively extracted the F1/F2 formant information despite the language-irrelevant variation in the sound input.
