Table 1 Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of Mismatch Negativity (MMN) z-scores. More positive z-scores indicate smaller MMN amplitude relative to HC norms (i.e., a greater MMN deficit)

From: Trait aspects of auditory mismatch negativity predict response to auditory training in individuals with early illness schizophrenia
