Auditory temporal resolution, measured through gap detection, is critical for the perception of speech. A time-efficient multi-deviant paradigm has previously been developed for gap detection. The purpose of the present study was to determine if this multi-deviant paradigm could be used for gap detection during NREM sleep. ERPs were recorded in 10 young adults while awake and during the first two hours of NREM sleep. A multi-deviant paradigm was employed with six different deviants varying in gap duration, ranging from 2 to 40 ms. During waking, a DRN was observed for the 10, 20, 30 and 40 ms gaps. The DRN was absent during sleep. A P2 was present in NREM for the 20, 30 and 40 ms gaps followed by a P3a to the 30 and 40 ms gaps. An N350 was observed following the 10, 20, 30 and 40 ms gaps. Previous studies have reported significant ERPs to gaps having shorter durations than the present study. The multi-deviant paradigm may not be suitable for the determination of gap threshold during sleep. Nevertheless, it provides an exquisite means to determine perceptibility and the extent of processing of longer duration, supra-threshold gaps during sleep.

To investigate the early auditory discrimination of vowels, consonants and lexical tones in prelingually-deafened children with cochlear implants (CI) using auditory event-related potentials. Nineteen prelingually-deafened CI children and 19 normal hearing (NH) children were recruited in this study. A multi-deviant oddball paradigm was constructed using the monosyllable/ta1/as the standard stimulus and monosyllables/tu1/,/te1/, /da1/,/ra1/,/ta4/and/ta2/as the deviant stimuli.

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is considered the electrophysiological change-detection response of the brain, and therefore a valuable clinical tool for monitoring functional changes associated with return to consciousness after severe brain injury. Using an auditory multi-deviant oddball paradigm, we tracked auditory MMN responses in seventeen healthy controls over a 12-h period, and in three comatose patients assessed over 24 h at two time points. We investigated whether the MMN responses show fluctuations in detectability over time in full conscious awareness, or whether such fluctuations are rather a feature of coma.

Auditory temporal resolution is critical for the perception of speech. It is often studied using gap detection methods in which a silent period (or "gap") is inserted in a long duration auditory stimulus. When the gap is inserted in a frequently occurring standard stimulus, it elicits a negative-going event-related potential, called the deviant-related negativity (DRN).

The insertion of a silent period (or gap) in a frequently occurring standard stimulus elicits a negative-going event-related potential (ERP), called the Deviant-Related Negativity (DRN). This is often studied using a single-deviant paradigm. To study the effects of gaps with multiple durations, a different sequence would be required for each gap.
