    Abstract

    A portion of the data from an event-related potential (ERP) experiment [1] on auditory temporal assimilation [2, 3] was reanalyzed by constructing Gaussian Naïve Bayes Classifiers [4]. In auditory temporal assimilation, two neighboring physically-unequal time intervals marked by three successive tone bursts are illusorily perceived to have the same duration if the two time intervals satisfy a certain relationship. The classifiers could discriminate the subject's task, which was judgment of the equivalence between the two intervals, at an accuracy of 86-96% as well as their subjective judgments to the physically equivalent stimulus at an accuracy of 82-86% from individual ERP average waveforms. Chernoff information [5] provided more consistent interpretations compared with classification errors as to the selection of the component most strongly associated with the perceptual judgment. This may provide us with a simple but somewhat robust neurodecoding scheme.
