Estimation of frequency difference at which stream segregation precedes temporal integration as reflected by omission mismatch negativity

Both stream segregation and temporal integration are considered important for auditory scene analysis in the brain. Several previous studies have indicated that stream segregation may precede temporal integration when both processes are required. In the present study, we utilized mismatch negativity (MMN)—which reflects automatic change detection—to systematically estimate the threshold of the frequency difference at which stream segregation...
