In a figure identification task, we investigated the influence of different visual cue configurations (spatial frequency, orientation or a combination of both) on the human EEG. Combining psychophysics with ERP and time-frequency analysis, we show that the neural response at about 200ms reflects perceptual saliency rather than physical cue contrast. Increasing saliency caused (i) a negative shift of the posterior P2 coinciding with a power decrease in the posterior theta-band and (ii) an amplitude and latency increase of the posterior P3. We demonstrate that visual cues interact for a percept that is non-linearly related to the physical figure-ground properties.
在一项图形识别任务中,我们研究了不同视觉线索配置(空间频率、方向或两者的组合)对人类脑电图的影响。结合心理物理学与事件相关电位(ERP)和时频分析,我们发现约200毫秒时的神经反应反映的是感知显著性而非物理线索对比度。显著性增加导致:(i)后部P2负向偏移,同时后部θ波段功率下降;(ii)后部P3的幅度和潜伏期增加。我们证明视觉线索会相互作用以形成一种与物理图形-背景属性呈非线性关系的感知。
