This study investigated how duration changes are processed in the human brain as indexed by the mismatch negativity (MMN), a component of the auditory event-related potential (ERP) reflecting sensory memory. Subjects were presented with sequences of repetitive 100-ms white noise bursts interspersed by occasional duration deviants which were 1, 10, or 50 ms (decrements) or 110, 150, or 200 ms (increments) in duration. In a separate task, subjects were asked to detect deviants within the sequence via a button-press. MMN was elicited by both stimulus decrements and increments and increased in amplitude as a function of the amount of deviation from the standard duration except for the shortest, 1-ms deviant. Behavioural detection paralleled the MMN responses, suggesting a link between the processes underlying MMN and behavioural measures. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
