The quest for the genuine visual mismatch negativity (vMMN): Event‐related potential indications of deviance detection for low‐level visual features

Research shows that the visual system monitors the environment for changes. For example, a left‐tilted bar, a deviant , that appears after several presentations of a right‐tilted bar, standards , elicits a classic visual mismatch negativity (vMMN): greater negativity for deviants than standards in event‐related potentials (ERPs) between 100 and 300 ms after onset of the deviant. The classic vMMN is contributed to by adaptation; it can be...
