Cortical Potentials Associated with the Detection of Visual Events

A positive-going potential, which reaches a maximum at the vertex and midline parietal scalp electrodes, occurs in the human being when an infrequent, significant event occurs in a continuously observed visual display. It is not time locked to eye movements or operant response and appears to be gene...

Zusammenfassung:A positive-going potential, which reaches a maximum at the vertex and midline parietal scalp electrodes, occurs in the human being when an infrequent, significant event occurs in a continuously observed visual display. It is not time locked to eye movements or operant response and appears to be generated when the observer recognizes an event that he has been instructed to detect.
