The mismatch negativity (MMN) in basic research of central auditory processing: a review.

TLDR
The mismatch negativity (MMN) enables one to establish the brain processes underlying the initiation of attention switch to, conscious perception of, sound change in an unattended stimulus stream.

The mismatch negativity: a review of underlying mechanisms.

TL;DR: A review of studies that focus on neuronal mechanisms underlying the MMN generation, discusses the two major explanatory hypotheses, and proposes predictive coding as a general framework that attempts to unify both.

Expectation (and attention) in visual cognition

TL;DR: Recent work that has begun to delineate a neurobiology of visual expectation is reviewed, and the findings are contrasted with those of the attention literature to explore how these two central influences on visual perception overlap, differ and interact.

The pain matrix reloaded: a salience detection system for the body.

TL;DR: An alternative view of the functional significance of this cortical network is proposed, in which it reflects a system involved in detecting, orienting attention towards, and reacting to the occurrence of salient sensory events, regardless of the sensory channel through which these events are conveyed.

Towards the utilization of EEG as a brain imaging tool

TL;DR: It is shown that many cognitive and clinical EEG studies use the EEG still in its traditional way and analyze grapho-elements at certain electrodes and latencies, which is not only dangerous because it leads to misinterpretations, but it is also largely ignoring the spatial aspects of the signals.

A feature-integration theory of attention

TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

Hearing lips and seeing voices

TL;DR: The study reported here demonstrates a previously unrecognised influence of vision upon speech perception, on being shown a film of a young woman's talking head in which repeated utterances of the syllable [ba] had been dubbed on to lip movements for [ga].

Reading senseless sentences: brain potentials reflect semantic incongruity

TL;DR: In a sentence reading task, words that occurred out of context were associated with specific types of event-related brain potentials that elicited a late negative wave (N400).

A theory of cortical responses

TL;DR: The aims of this article are to encompass many apparently unrelated anatomical, physiological and psychophysical attributes of the brain within a single theoretical perspective and to provide a principled way to understand many aspects of cortical organization and responses.

Is the P300 component a manifestation of context updating

TL;DR: The amplitude of the P300 component is controlled multiplicatively by the subjective probability and task relevance of eliciting events, whereas its latency depends on the duration of stimulus evaluation as mentioned in this paper.
