Abstract
During speech production auditory and motor regions within the sensorimotor dorsal stream operate in concert to facilitate online error detection. As the dorsal stream also is known to activate in speech perception, the purpose of the current study was to probe the role of auditory regions in error detection during auditory discrimination tasks as stimuli are encoded and maintained in working memory. A priori assumptions are that sensory mismatch (i.e., error) occurs during the discrimination of Different (mismatched) but not Same (matched) syllable pairs. Independent component analysis was applied to raw EEG data recorded from 42 par-ticipants to identify bilateral auditory alpha rhythms, which were decomposed across time and frequency to reveal robust patterns of event related synchronization (ERS; inhibition) and desynchronization (ERD; pro-cessing) over the time course of discrimination events. Results were characterized by bilateral peri-stimulus alpha ERD transitioning to alpha ERS in the late trial epoch, with ERD interpreted as evidence of working memory encoding via Analysis by Synthesis and ERS considered evidence of speech-induced-suppression arising during covert articulatory rehearsal to facilitate working memory maintenance. The transition from ERD to ERS occurred later in the left hemisphere for Different trials than for Same trials, with ERD and ERS temporally overlapping during the early post-stimulus window. Results were interpreted to suggest that the sensory mismatch (i.e., error) arising from the comparison of the first and second syllable elicits further processing in the left hemisphere to support working memory encoding and maintenance. Results are consistent with auditory contributions to error detection during both encoding and maintenance stages of working memory, with encoding stage error detection associated with stimulus concordance and maintenance stage error detection associated with task-specific retention demands.
