Abstract

We examined the characteristics of early and late components of event-related potentials (ERPs) accompanying the visual categorization of natural scenes. In the first experiment, ERPs were recorded in an animal–non-animal categorization task (CT), whereas the second experiment included a spatial frequency discrimination task (DT). In the CT, there were more negative potentials for non-animals in the time windows of 150–250 ms (N1) and 350–500 ms (N2), and a more positive potential for animals in the time window of 250–350 ms (P2). In the DT, spatial frequency gratings evoked only a short-duration difference N1 at the frontal sites. Our results suggest that N1 may be related to higher-level categorization processes.
