The deviant tones embedded in a sequence of standard tones elicit an event-related potential (ERP) component called mismatch negativity (MMN). Because MMN is partly overlapped by other ERP components at 100-200 msec latency (N1 and P2) and its shape varies, MMN peak latency and amplitude may be ambiguous. We used the difference area between the deviant and standard ERP to evaluate the age and interstimulus interval (ISI) dependence of MMN. Sequences of standard (85%) and deviant (15%) tones were presented to 27 normal subjects (age 18-85 years) using 1 sec and 3 sec ISIs and to 6 young subjects using an additional ISI of 5 sec. With this method MMN was clearly seen in 26 out of 27 healthy subjects (96.3%). MMN area was quite stable regardless of age with 1 sec ISI. With 3 sec ISI MMN area was significantly smaller in the old than in the young subjects. This may reflect the shortening of the sensory auditory memory trace with increasing age.
