Event-related perturbations in an electrophysiological measure of auditory function: a measure of sensitivity during orienting?

abstract：:Rare irregular sounds (deviants) embedded into a regular sound sequence have large potential to draw attention to themselves (distraction). It has been previously shown that distraction, as manifested by behavioral response delay, and the P3a and reorienting negativity (RON) event-related potentials, could be reduced ...
