title: Effect of deviant probability and interstimulus/interdeviant interval on the auditory N1 and mismatch negativity in the cat auditory cortex.
abstract: In passive oddball paradigm the effects of changes in interstimulus/interdeviant interval (ISI; IDI) and deviant probability were investigated on mismatch negativity (MMN), auditory N1 wave and the exogenous P1 component of the auditory event-related potential in the cat. An epidural electrode matrix was chronically implanted over the auditory fields of the neocortex, and the amplitudes of the aforementioned components were measured in the location of their amplitude maxima. Dependence of the MMN both on the ISI and IDI as well as deviant probability was revealed, while the amplitude of the P1 and N1 showed dependence merely on the ISI. This method can be used for separation of the two negative, often overlapping components in the cat.
