Brain potential analysis of selective attention

摘要: Publisher Summary Selective attention can be investigated by studying performance in simple tasks as a function of the manipulations task variables. This chapter provides an overview research which selective is with aid event-related potentials brain (ERPs). Selectivity prevents organism from responding reflexively to its environment: it enables flexibility behavior. By combining mental chronometry ERP analysis, attempt made identify particular components reliable and valid markers specific aspects or stages information processing. ERPs clarify timing, ordering, interactions intermediate processes that are engaged cognitive activities. has convincingly clear may act upon early The onset latencies effects quite under proper conditions. Results multi-feature selection show mostly individual features selected before combinations features. Although indicate processing modulated at stages, such do not necessarily irrelevant terminated.
