Abstract
This paper explores the problem of conscious learning under discrimination of auditory stimulation in the human brain. In accordance with the radical plastici- ty theory of consciousness it was expected that the 4-week cognitive training increases neuronal representations of auditory stimuli due to conscious access mechanisms. The event-related potential measures (ERP) of the brain activity using the oddball paradigm demonstrated that auditory discrimination training increased amplitudes of mismatch negativity waves (MMN). Our results suggest that conscious learning increases neuro- nal representation of auditory stimuli in the brain, although effective skill acquisition for auditory stimuli discrimination mainly requires the mechanism of potential access’ consciousness.
