Supports nicotine's role in preattentive processing; hypothesis-generating for cognitive applications and requires larger trials before practice change.
Does nicotine improve automatic temporal processing as measured by mismatch negativity in smokers and nonsmokers?
Nicotine enhances preattentive temporal processing as measured by mismatch negativity amplitude in both smokers and nonsmokers.
Martín et al. (2009) studied this question.
