The detection of higher‐order acoustic transitions is reflected in the N1 ERP

The auditory system features various types of dedicated change detectors enabling the rapid parsing of auditory stimulation into distinct events. The activity of such detectors is reflected by the N1 ERP. Interestingly, certain acoustic transitions show an asymmetric N1 elicitation pattern: whereas first‐order transitions (e.g., a change from a segment of constant frequency to a frequency glide [c‐to‐g change]) elicit N1, higher‐order...
