“…The peak latency and scalp-distribution of the positivity are consistent with change-related positivity observed in previous studies (e.g., Fonteneau and Davidoff, 2007;Fu et al, 2003;Kimura et al, 2005aKimura et al, , 2005bKimura et al, , 2006aKimura et al, , 2006bKimura et al, , 2006cWang et al, 2003). The present finding that change-related positivity was elicited by size decrements suggests that such change-related positivity could be elicited when stimulus changes engage memory-comparison-based change detection but do not strongly engage refractoriness-based rareness detection.…”

“…Second, although the present results support the notion that change-related positivity reflects memory-comparison-based change detection (e.g., Fonteneau and Davidoff, 2007;Kimura et al, 2005aKimura et al, , 2005bKimura et al, , 2006aKimura et al, , 2006bKimura et al, , 2006c, except for S1-S2 matching studies (Fu et al, 2003;Kimura et al, 2005aKimura et al, , 2005bKimura et al, , 2006aKimura et al, , 2006bKimura et al, , 2006cWang et al, 2003) and some oddball studies (Fonteneau and Davidoff, 2007;Kimura et al, 2006c) Finally, the present study found three early change-related effects (change-related negativity, change-related positivity, and frontal positivity). At present, the precise relationship between attentional capture and these early change-related effects is still unclear.…”

“…As seen in the interpretation by Berti and Schröger (2001, 2006, this component might reflect memory-comparison-based change detection (e.g., Czigler et al, 2002Winkler et al, 2005) or refractoriness-based rareness detection (e.g., Alho et al, 1992;Kenemans et al, 2003;Kimura et al, 2006c;Mazza et al, 2005). Also, change-related positivity is usually observed at around 100-200 ms after stimulus onset with a posterior scalp-distribution (e.g., Fonteneau and Davidoff, 2007;Fu et al, 2003;Kimura et al 2005aKimura et al , 2005bKimura et al , 2006aKimura et al , 2006bKimura et al , 2006cWang et al, 2003).…”

“…In previous studies on the functional significance of change-related positivity, it has been suggested that change-related positivity reflects memory-comparison-based change detection (Fonteneau and Davidoff, 2007;Kimura et al, 2005aKimura et al, , 2005bKimura et al, , 2006aKimura et al, , 2006bKimura et al, , 2006c. For example, Kimura et al (2006c) found that change-related positivity was observed in response to stimulus changes even when the stimulus changes were not infrequent events, and the amplitude was determined by the mismatch between Visual distraction & ERPs 23 the current stimulus and the immediately preceding stimulus regardless of the probability of eliciting stimuli.…”

To elucidate the attention switching function of a memory-comparison-based change detection system in the visual modality, the effects of task-irrelevant infrequent stimulus-size decrements that engaged memory-comparison-based change detection as well as stimulus-size increments that engaged memory-comparison-based change detection and refractoriness-based rareness detection on behavioral and event-related brain potential (ERP) measures were assessed using the distraction paradigm. Both size increments and size decrements caused distraction in forced-choice task performance, which was mirrored by a posterior negativity (peaking at around 240-260 ms, posterior N2) and a broad positivity (420-460 ms, P3a) that reflected attentional capture. Preceding these effects, size increments elicited a posterior negativity (120-140 ms, change-related negativity), while size decrements elicited a posterior positivity (140-160 ms, change-related positivity) and an anterior positivity (160-180 ms, frontal positivity). Taken together, these results indicate an attention switching function of a memory-comparison-based change detection system in the visual modality, which is most probably indexed by change-related positivity.

Oscillatory neural activity associated with cognitive processes affected by spatial frequency

The spatial frequency contained in visual objects is known to affect human psychophysiology. In our previous study, we showed that event-related potentials are affected by spatial frequency during a simple calculation task. In that study, however, we did not investigate the contribution of oscillatory neural activities. The purpose of the present study is to characterize the changes in oscillatory neural activity associated with cognitive processes, and to investigate how these signals are affected by the spatial frequency of a visual stimulus during simple calculation tasks. We investigate these issues by analyzing our previously collected electroencephalography (EEG) dataset using the same visual stimulus, tasks, subjects, and EEG recordings. In that study, four types of vertically striped visual stimuli were used. The visual stimuli contained embedded numbers (from 0 to 9) that possessed the following frequency (f ) characteristics: white noise, 1/f , 1/f 2 , and 1/f 3 . The subjects were instructed to perform two tasks: 'add numbers' (addition task) and 'do not add numbers' (reference task). EEG data were recorded, and event-related synchronization (ERS) and desynchronization (ERD) for each visual stimulus were analyzed on the basis of the intertrial variances of wavelet coefficients for theta, alpha, low-beta, and gamma band activity. Eight healthy men (21-23 years) were recruited to participate in the study. Our results suggest the presence of a frequency discrimination function in the theta band activity in the fronto-central area at the latency of 198 ms during the addition task. The alpha-band ERD during completion of the reference task also showed a spatial frequency dependency. This phenomenon was observed in the left temporal-parietal area at a latency of 376 ms, and is thought to be related to the perceptual filter. We conclude that the observed changes in oscillatory neural activity associated with cognitive processes are affected by spatial frequency.

Can illusory deviant stimuli be used as attentional distractors to record vMMN in a passive three stimulus oddball paradigm?

A passive three stimulus oddball paradigm was used to investigate Visual Mismatch Negativity (vMMN) a component of the Event Related Potential (ERP) believed to represent a central pre-attentive change mechanism. Responses to a change in orientation were recorded to monochrome stimuli presented to subjects on a computer screen. One of the infrequent stimuli formed an illusory figure (Kanizsa Square) aimed to capture spatial attention in the absence of an active task. Nineteen electrodes (10-20 system) were used to record the electroencephalogram in fourteen subjects (ten females) mean age 34.5 years. ERPs to all stimuli consisted of a positive negative positive complex recorded maximally over lateral occipital areas. The negative component was greater for deviant and illusory deviant compared to standard stimuli in a time window of 170-190 ms. A P3a component over frontal/central electrodes to the illusory deviant but not to the deviant stimulus suggests the illusory figure was able to capture attention and orientate subjects to the recording. Subtraction waveforms revealed visual discrimination responses at occipital electrodes, which may represent vMMN. In a control study with 13 subjects (11 females; mean age 29.23 years), using an embedded active attention task, we confirmed the existence of an earlier (150-170 ms) and attenuated vMMN. Recordings from an intracranial case study confirmed separation of N1 and discrimination components to posterior and anterior occipital areas, respectively. We conclude that although the illusory figure captured spatial attention in its own right it did not draw sufficient attentional resources from the standard-deviant comparison as revealed when using a concurrent active task.
