Multiple visual objects are sampled sequentially - Fig 1 Ole Jensen Marlies E.

Participants were asked to detect the random appearance of a small target square in one of the objects. (B) The contrast of each object changed randomly over time. (C) The temporal response functions (TRFs) were calculated by relating the recorded EEG to the visual input train (contrast change of each object). The TRF can be considered to reflect the impulse response function that best explains the EEG when convolved with the stimulus train, also termed as perceptual echoes [<a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.2003230#pbio.2003230.ref013" target="_blank">13</a>]. The TRFs were dominated by approximately 10-Hz alpha-band activity. The sequential sampling was observed as a rhythmic modulation (about 2 Hz) of the envelope of the alpha-band response.</p> 2017-07-24 18:04:26 2 Hz response functions EEG object-specific way novel evidence brains sequentially sample neurophysiological insights goal-relevant information 10- Hz alpha-band activity
