Abstract
Objective: The present study addressed what kind of mental processes would be presented by the event-related desynchronization (ERD) relevant to the stimuli of an auditory oddball count task.
Methods: Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from nine healthy subjects while target tones (2000 Hz, P=0.2) and non-target tones (1000 Hz, P=0.8) were presented randomly with constant stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) of 3.3 s. To improve time resolution of ERD analysis, obtained EEG epochs were digitally convoluted by Gabor wavelet and averaged respectively.
Results: For target stimulus, prominent ERD was observed in left parieto-occipital areas (peak latency: 400–600 ms), but there were no significant ERD for non-target stimulus.
Conclusion: Our result suggests that magnitude of ERD would reflect amount of mental effort which was associated with intentional and voluntary processes rather than automatically sensory process.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
