In this chapter we present some of the implications of esearch on the endogenous components
of the event-related poential (ERP). In a sense, the studies we review represent he …

Integration of information from multiple senses is fundamental to perception and cognition,
but when and where this is accomplished in the brain is not well understood. This study …

The scalp distribution of auditory evoked responses (AERs) was studied in six normal
subjects and in four patients who had undergone carotid angiography. The late (200 msec) …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a frontal negative deflection in the human event-related
potential that typically occurs when a repeating auditory stimulus changes in some manner. …

Short term habituation in human subjects was studied by a method which provided a stimulus
by stimulus analysis of averaged evoked responses. Tones delivered every 2 sec resulted …

Electrophysiological studies have revealed a pre-attentive change-detection system in the
auditory modality. This system emits a signal termed the mismatch negativity (MMN) when any …

Using high-field (3 Tesla) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we demonstrate
that auditory and somatosensory inputs converge in a subregion of human auditory cortex …

Event-related potentials associated with detected targets in a vigilance task were analyzed
in two ways: (i) by sorting the potentials in terms of sequential reaction time bins of 50 …

The motor potential (MP) accompanying voluntary movements is maximal over Rolandic
cortex and shows a somatotopic distribution for contractions of various muscles similar to that …

Multisensory interactions are observed in species from single-cell organisms to humans.
Important early work was primarily carried out in the cat superior colliculus and a set of critical …
