  abstract = {Being able to detect unusual, possibly dangerous events in the environment
	is a fundamental ability that helps ensure the survival of biological
	organisms. Novelty detection requires a memory system that models
	(builds neural representations of) events in the environment, so
	that changes are detected because they violate the predictions of
	the model. The earliest physiologically measurable brain response
	to novel auditory stimuli is the mismatch negativity, MMN, a component
	of the event-related potential. It is elicited when a predictable
	series of unvarying stimuli is unexpectedly followed by a deviating
	stimulus. As the occurrence of MMN is not usually affected by the
	direction of attention, MMN reflects the operation of automatic sensory
	(echoic) memory, the earliest memory system that builds traces of
	the acoustic environment against which new stimuli can be compared.
	The dependence of attentive novelty detection on earlier, pre-attentive
	processes, however, has remained elusive. Previous, related studies
	seem to suggest a relationship between MMN and attentive processes,
	although no conclusive evidence has so far been shown. Here we address
	novelty detection in humans both on a physiological and behavioural
	level, and show how attentive novelty detection is governed by a
	pre-attentive sensory memory mechanism.},
