The auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) or its magnetic counterpart (magnetic mismatch field, MMF) has been widely used to assess the ability of stimulus-driven change detection process in humans. The authors evaluated the similarity of inter-individual variation of the response strength between MMN and MMF recordings. Three types of MMN or MMF were recorded in ten healthy subjects: change in duration of pure-tone stimuli, change in duration of the Japanese vowel /a/, and difference between the Japanese vowels /a/ and /o/. There was no significant correlation between MMN amplitude and MMF strength under any condition and in either hemisphere. These results suggest that widely used indices of MMN in the two technologies, i.e., EEG-amplitude and MEG-ECD may not be proportional in an individual. To further clarify the differential significance of recording MMN/MMF may be important to establish MMN/MMF as clinical indices of individual ability of preattentive stage of auditory processing.
