4. Conclusion
Although switching a monaurally presented sound from one ear to the other evoked much larger negative difference potentials, we concluded that lateralization change in MMN studies must be made by altering the binaural cues, either by changing interaural time and/or level disparities under dichotic conditions, or by using loudspeakers. This was because our results indicated a significant role of different states of refractoriness for the responses to standard and deviant monaural stimuli, which is a clear violation of conditions for a genuine, memory comparison based MMN.
