Subjects either detected rare spatial deviants in a series of standard sounds or passively listened.
This relationship was only subsequently inferred from striking relationships between the probability of deviants and neurophysiological time series (e.g., Csepe et al. 1987; Pincze et al. 2002).
By presenting a single speech stimulus repeatedly, we can observe habituation to that sound, then by comparing this condition to one in which a "deviant" stimulus occurs after a series of repeated "standards," we can also determine which brain regions are sensitive to the change between the two stimuli (see review in [ 4]).
The MMN is a negative potential shift evoked when a deviant stimulus is presented in a series of well-known stimuli.
N400 in ERP paradigms can be obtained either by presenting sentences with semantically deviant words or by presenting a series of words with a priming effect.
The MMN is an event-related potential (ERP) component that occurs when infrequent "deviant" stimuli are inserted in a series of "standard" stimuli (Näätänen, Gaillard, & Mäntysalo, 1978).
A malignant tumor is caused by a series of abnormal expressions and/or deviant functions of genes governing cell proliferation and differentiation (including proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes).
In the first of two coauthored articles on the subject, "Techniques of Neutralization: A Theory of Delinquency" (1957), Matza and Sykes proposed a "drift theory" (also known as neutralization theory), according to which delinquents use a series of justifications to neutralize their deviant behaviour.

Mismatch negativity is an automatic neurophysiological response to a deviant auditory stimulus that is interspersed with a series of standard auditory stimuli [ 3, 4].
As a professional criminal, I worry that future generations will not be able to use the GTA series to educate and inspire future deviants.
