MMN 2006 conference: Introduction
The interest in Mismatch Negativity (MMN) and its clinical and scientific applications has been steadily growing during the recent years. Following a series of successful meetings dedicated to the MMN as a tool for studying cerebral functions and dysfunctions, the 4th Conference on Mismatch Negativity was held in Cambridge, UK, on April 22-26, 2006. The meeting was organized by MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, in particular by its EEG/MEG Laboratory.
