Electroencephalogram (EEG) was used in 8-month-old infants and adults to study brain electrical activity as a function of
perception of structured optic flow and random visual motion. A combination of visual evoked potential (VEP) analyses and
analyses of temporal spectral evolution (TSE, time-dependent spectral power) was carried out. Significant differences were
found for the N2 component of VEP for optic flow versus random visual motion within and between groups. Both adults and infants
showed shorter latencies for structured optic flow than random visual motion, and infants showed longer latencies, particularly
for random visual motion, and larger amplitudes than adults. Both groups also showed significant differences in induced activity
when TSE of the two motion stimuli (optic flow and random visual motion) was compared with TSE of a static dot pattern. Infants
showed an induced decrease in the amplitudes in theta-band frequency, while adults showed an induced increase in beta-band
frequency. Differences in induced activity for the two motion stimuli could, however, not be observed. Brain activity related
to motion stimuli is different for infants and adults and the differences are observed both in VEPs and in induced activity
of the EEG. To investigate how changes in locomotor development are related to accompanying changes in brain activity associated
with visual motion perception, more data of infants with different experiences in self-produced locomotion are required. 相似文献

Wavelet Analysis of P3a and P3b 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Target/standard discrimination difficulty and the degree of stimulus "novelty" were manipulated systematically in a three-stimulus oddball task to assess how these variables affect target and non-target P300 scalp distributions for visual stimuli. Wavelet transformation (WT) analyses were performed on the non-target (P3a) and target (P3b) ERPs to assay how the underlying electroencephalographic (EEG) activity was affected by both the difficulty and novelty factors. When target/standard discrimination was easy, P300 amplitude was higher for the target than the non-target across all electrode sites, and both demonstrated parietal maximums. In contrast, when target/standard discrimination was difficult, non-target amplitude (P3a) was higher and earlier over the frontal/central electrode sites for both levels of novelty, whereas target amplitude (P3b) was greater parietally and occurred later than the non-target components and was generally unaffected by non-target novelty level. The WT analyses indicated that appreciable theta activity was related to the more novel non-target stimuli; primarily target component delta coefficients were affected by the discrimination difficulty variable. The findings suggest that target/standard discrimination difficulty, rather than stimulus novelty, determines P3a generation for visual stimuli but that the underlying theta oscillations are differentially affected by stimulus novelty. WT analysis methods are discussed along with the theoretical and neurophysiological implications of the findings. 相似文献
