ERP spatio-temporal analysis for perception of motion-in-depth: the effect of size factor on cognition / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

By means of continuous visual stimulation to simulate the motion-in-depth course where object was approaching to observer gradually, we studied the event-related potentials (ERP) response in that course. This article was directed to the effect of object size factor on the ERP of motion-in-depth perception. The subjects recruited were 9 health men, aged 22-29 years. The results illustrated that, in motion-in-depth course, the main components were P80, N100, P140, N220, P300, N350, and P400. They mainly appeared in the frontal area, occipital area and occipital-parietal area; some of them showed near by the parietal-temporal or occipital-temporal area. Among these components, N220 was most closely related to the perception of motion-in-depth. From the data analysis in 500 ms, bigger object led to earlier and stronger response.
