Human auditory evoked potentials. II - Effects of attention

Reads0

TLDR
Evidence shows that human auditory attention is not mediated by a peripheral gating mechanism and that attention directed toward auditory stimuli causes a substantial increase in the N1 and P2 components of the auditory evoked potential without any change in preceding components.

Is the P300 component a manifestation of context updating

TL;DR: The amplitude of the P300 component is controlled multiplicatively by the subjective probability and task relevance of eliciting events, whereas its latency depends on the duration of stimulus evaluation as mentioned in this paper.

Two varieties of long-latency positive waves evoked by unpredictable auditory stimuli in man.

TL;DR: Two distinct late-positive components of the scalp-recorded auditory evoked potential were identified which differed in their latency, scalp topography and psychological correlates.

Event-related brain potentials elicited by syntactic anomaly

TL;DR: This article found that syntactic ambiguities are sensitive to syntactic anomaly, including anomaly engendered by disambiguating material following erroneous analysis of a syntactically ambiguous string (the "garden path" effect).

Meditation States and Traits: EEG, ERP, and Neuroimaging Studies.

TL;DR: Psychological and clinical effects of meditation are summarized, integrated, and discussed with respect to neuroimaging data, and meditation appears to reflect changes in anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arousal, activation, and effort in the control of attention

TL;DR: This review attempts to organize a range of neuropsychological and psycho-physiological data on attention by identifying three basic at-tentional control processes: one regulates arousal resulting from input; a second controls the preparatory activation of response mechanisms; and a third operates to coordinate arousal and activation, an operation that demands effort.

Evoked-Potential Correlates of Stimulus Uncertainty

TL;DR: The average evoked-potential waveforms to sound and light stimuli recorded from scalp in awake human subjects show differences as a function of the subject's degree of uncertainty with respect to the sensory modality of the stimulus to be presented.

Electrical Signs of Selective Attention in the Human Brain

TL;DR: Auditory evoked potentials were recorded from the vertex of subjects who listened selectively to a series of tone pipping in one ear and ignored concurrent tone pips in the other ear to study the response set established to recognize infrequent, higher pitched tone pipped in the attended series.

TL;DR: Under the conditions of skull and scalp boundaries and intracranial inhomogeneities, recordings from a single electrode position offer little indication as to the location of a wave's neural generator(s), whereas multiple recording sites may be more informative.
