Memory-based pre-attentive auditory N1 elicited by sound movement

► The aim of this study was to clarify that N1 is based on memory mechanisms. ► We recorded N1 using an abruptly moving sound (SM-stimulus). ► We used an oddball paradigm with several probabilities of the SM-stimulus. ► As the probability decreased, the N1 amplitude increased and its latency decreased. ► The preceding sensory history affects N1.
