ONE of the basic properties of the auditory system is the ability to analyse complex temporal patterns. Here, we investigated the neural activity associated with auditory pattern processing using event-related brain potentials. Participants were presented with a continuously repeating sequence of four tones with rare changes in either the frequency or timing of one of the tones. Both frequency- and time-deviant sounds generated mismatch negativity (MMN) waves that peaked at midline central electrode sites and inverted in polarity at inferior temporal and occipital sites, consistent with generators in the supratemporal plane. The MMN scalp topography was similar for the frequency- and time-deviant stimuli, suggesting that both spectral and temporal relations among elements of an auditory pattern are encoded in a unified memory trace.
