Abstrakt: We report here studies of the efficiency of recognition of short acoustic signals (11-30 msec) whose presentation did not produce mismatch negativity in evoked potentials in the human brain. Nonetheless, stimuli could still be recognized efficiently in these conditions; processing negativity disappeared from evoked potentials and the efficiency of recognition was significantly worsened on presentation of the shortest stimuli (11 msec). It is suggested that processing negativity also has a critical duration for acoustic signals, though this is significantly shorter than the minimum duration of stimuli needed for generating mismatch negativity.
