چکیده

Processing of line- and luminance-defined triangles was investigated by studying visual potentials (VEPs) evoked by triangles. Twenty-six subjects were randomly presented with line, grey, and illusory triangles. Relative to VEPs elicited by grey and illusory triangles, VEPs to line triangles included P220s that were smaller at frontal sites but larger at occipital sites, and N260s that were smaller over both temporal and occipital sites. It is proposed that, in contrast to triangle defined by a line, illusory and luminance-defined triangles include information involved in the processing of surface.

Feature-specific electrophysiological correlates of texture segregation

Discrimination between a figure and its surround is an important first step of pattern recognition. This discrimination usually relies, as a first step, on the detection of borders between a figure and its surround, for example based on spatial gradients in luminance, colour, or texture. There is evidence that neurones in the visual cortex are specifically activated by segregation between textu...

Feature Extraction of Visual Evoked Potentials Using Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition

Introduction: Brain visual evoked potential (VEP) signals are commonly known to be accompanied by high levels of background noise typically from the spontaneous background brain activity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Material and Methods: A model based on dyadic filter bank, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and singular value decomposition (SVD) was developed to analyze the raw data...

Visual evoked potentials to an illusory change in brightness: the Craik–Cornsweet–O’Brien effect

Can brain electrical activity associated with the Craik-Cornsweet-O'Brien effect (CCOB) be identified in humans? Opposing luminance gradients met in the middle of a square image to create a luminance contrast-defined vertical border. The resulting rectangles on each side of the border were otherwise equiluminant, but appeared to differ in brightness, the CCOB effect. When the contrast gradients...

Machine learning based Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) Signals Recognition

Introduction: Visual evoked potentials contain certain diagnostic information which have proved to be of importance in the visual systems functional integrity. Due to substantial decrease of amplitude in extra macular stimulation in commonly used pattern VEPs, differentiating normal and abnormal signals can prove to be quite an obstacle. Due to developments of use of machine l...

Effects of visual deprivation on epileptic activity in mature rat visual cortex

  Effects of visual deprivation on the induction of epileptiform activity were studied in layer II/III of mature rat primary visual cortex. Field potentials were evoked by stimulation of layer IV in slices from control and dark-reared (OR) rats. Picrotoxin (PTX)-induced epileptic activity was characterized by spontaneous and evoked epileptic field potentials (EFPs). The results showed that OR s...
