TL;DR: The current results suggested the importance of the initial evaluation of PH for patients with IPF and the body mass index, %FVC, %DLCO, baseline PaO2, modified Medical Research Council score, 6-minute walk distance, and lowest SpO2 of the 6-min walk test were significantly predictive of survival.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the early negativity reflects refractory effect, while the late negativity reflects memory-comparison-based change detection effect (visual mismatch negativity).

TL;DR: This review paper on visual mismatch negativity (MMN), an event-related brain potential component, provides arguments in favor of its theoretical importance in visual cognitive sciences.

TL;DR: A hypothetical model is put forward, which suggests that the unintentional prediction of forthcoming visual sensory events on the basis of abstract sequential rules embedded in the temporal context of visual stimulation might be implemented by a bi-directional cortical network that includes the visual and prefrontal areas.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors demonstrated that upcoming emotional faces can be predicted based on sequential regularities, by showing that prediction error responses as reflected by visual mismatch negativity (MMN), an event-related brain potential (ERP) component, were evoked in response to emotional faces that violated a regular alternation pattern of two emotional faces (fearful and happy faces) under a situation where the emotional faces themselves were unrelated to the participant's task.
