Abstract

A time-frequency decomposition was applied to rare target and frequent non-target event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited in an oddball condition to assess whether multiple functional components occur in the P300 latency range. The wavelet transform (WT) was used because it allows capture of simultaneous or partly overlapping components in ERPs without loosing their temporal relationships. The application of a four-octave quadratic B-spline wavelet transform at the level of single-sweep data allowed us to obtain new information and revealed the presence of separate events during P300 development. Several delta, theta, and alpha frequency components in the P300 latency range differed between target and non-target processing. These findings indicate that P300 is composed of multiple functional components and that the WT method is of use for the study of P300 functional correlates more precisely.

Evidence of a visual-to-auditory cross-modal sensory gating phenomenon as reflected by the human P50 event-related brain potential modulation.

We investigated the existence of a cross-modal sensory gating reflected by the modulation of an early electrophysiological index, the P50 component. We analyzed event-related brain potentials elicited by audiovisual speech stimuli manipulated along two dimensions: congruency and discriminability. The results showed that the P50 was attenuated when visual and auditory speech information were redundant (i.e. congruent), in comparison with this same event-related potential component elicited with discrepant audiovisual dubbing. When hard to discriminate, however, bimodal incongruent speech stimuli elicited a similar pattern of P50 attenuation. We concluded to the existence of a visual-to-auditory cross-modal sensory gating phenomenon. These results corroborate previous findings revealing a very early audiovisual interaction during speech perception. Finally, we postulated that the sensory gating system included a cross-modal dimension.

Quantifying signal-to-noise ratio of mismatch negativity in humans.

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is thought to represent a neurophysiological index of auditory information processing that is independent of attention. Because this measure does not require an overt behavioral response, MMN has potential to evaluate higher order perceptual abilities in infants, young children and difficult-to-test populations, thereby extending results obtained from more basic physiologic and electroacoustic measures (auditory brainstem responses, ABRs; otoacoustic emissions, OAEs). Whereas the basic tenet of MMN is appealing, several issues-of-contention remain to be solved before this event related potential (ERP) can be applicable for routine clinical use. These issues include the consistent identification of MMN within individuals (vs. groups), its stability over time, and its reportedly poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Herein, we focus on the issue of SNR, by comparing and contrasting SNR of MMN with other long latency auditory ERPs.

Two stages in crossmodal saccadic integration: evidence from a visual-auditory focused attention task.

Saccadic reaction time (SRT) toward a visual target stimulus was measured under simultaneous presentation of an auditory non-target (accessory stimulus). Horizontal position of the target was varied (25 degrees left and right of fixation) as well as position and intensity of the auditory accessory. SRT was reduced under the presence of the accessory, and it decreased both with increasing intensity of the auditory accessory and with decreasing distance between target and accessory. The absence of a significant interaction between distance and auditory intensity suggests (1) that the intensity of the accessory stimulus has no direct influence on the process of crossmodal integration, and (2) that spatial position and intensity of the accessory are processed in separate stages. This was supported by a probability inequality test showing that the amount of neural coactivation depends on spatial distance but not on auditory intensity. The results are discussed in the framework of a two-stage model assuming separate processing of unimodal and bimodal characteristics of the stimuli. These results are related to several recent neurophysiological findings.
