Visual change detection: event-related potentials are dependent on stimulus location in humans

Infrequent colored patterns within sequences of patterns of frequent color elicited a posterior negative event-related potential component only in case of lower half-field stimulation. This negativity in the 140-200 ms latency range is considered as a correlate of automatic visual change detection (visual mismatch negativity, vMMN). Retinotopic prestriate visual areas are suggested to be the generating loci of vMMN.
