This study used the event-related brain potential mismatch negativity (MMN) to investigate preconscious discrimination of harmonically rich tones (diVering in duration) and consonant–vowel syllables (diVering in the initial consonant) in aphasia. Eighteen Norwegian aphasic patients, examined on average 3 months after brain injury, were compared to 11 healthy controls. The main Wnding was a diVerence in topographic distribution of the MMN: the aphasia group showed a less lateralized and centralized topographic pattern especially to CV syllables, which is consistent with a reduced temporal lobe processing contribution and an increased right hemisphere activation. No correlations between MMN amplitude and aphasia test results were found.
