Visual mismatch negativity: very early, early and recent research

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event Visual mismatch negativity: very early, early and recent research István Czigler1* 1 Institute for Psychology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary Very early: In the early nineties some studies reported posterior negative waves to infrequent and irrelevant visual changes. However, as a consequence of a negative finding no authors suggested that such negativities were visual analogs of the auditory mismatch negativity. Early: In a peer-reviewed journal the first paper using the phrase “visual mismatch negativity” in the title was published in 1999 (Tales et al., NeuroReport, 10, 3363-3367. At the same time Heslenfeld conducted a series of careful studies on vMMN, but the studies was published only in 2003 (Heslenfeld, D. J., in J. Polich (ed.). Detection of change: Event-related potential and fMRI findings (pp. 41-59). Boston: Kluver Academic Press. In 1999 Pazo-Alvarez et al. presented a review on the early attempts (Pazo-Alvarez, P., et al., Biological Psychology, 63, 199-236. Recent: From the ISI Web of Knowledge database (Web of Science®) 34 publications on visual mismatch negativity can be retrieved. Nevertheless, in connection to this event-related activity some basic issues deserve discussion: (1) What are the characteristics of the memory underlying vMMN (if there is underlying memory)? (2) In what extent the processing reflected by the visual mismatch negativity is automatic? (3) What is the function of the processes underlying vMMN?
