Abstract
An ‘oddball paradigm’, where monotonously repeated ‘standard’ sounds are randomly replaced by physically different ‘deviants’, has been recently used in several neuromagnetic studies. For example, a rare change in tone frequency evokes a special response, ‘mismatch field’ (MMF), with the source area close to that of the 100-ms response (N100m) to stimulus onset (Hari et al., 1984; Sams et al., 1985). The functional relation between the sources of N100m and MMF is still an unsolved question.
