Fig. 2.

Group averaged (n = 14) electrical brain responses elicited by rhythmic sound patterns in neonates. Responses to standard (average of S2, S3, and S4; dotted line), deviant (D; solid line), and deviant-control patterns (D patterns appearing in the repetitive control stimulus block; dashed line) are aligned at the onset of the omitted sound (compared with the full pattern: S1) and shown from 200 ms before to 600 ms after the omission. Gray-shaded areas mark the time ranges with significant differences between the deviant and the other ERP responses.
