title: [A mismatch negativity elicited with stationary and moving auditory images of different azimuth positions].
abstract: Characteristics of mismatch negativity elicited by dichotic stimulation were examined using deviant stimuli simulating movement of fused auditory images towards the standard stimuli or in the reverse direction. The effect of stationary deviants localized at 90 degrees in respect to standards was also measured. The standard stimuli were localized near either of ears or along the head midline. The spatial locations were produced by introducing interaural time differences into the click trains. All deviant stimuli evoked the mismatch negativity. The deviants moving from standards seem to evoke the lowest mismatch negativity with the longest latency at all azimuthal locations of standard stimuli. Besides, the deviant shift from standards proved to be the only direction at which the characteristics of mismatch negativity depended upon the standard's azimuth. It is seems that the discrimination of interaural time delay is essentially dependent on the pattern of interaural delay changes at the moment when the deviant occurs.
