Abstract
In this study, we recorded the event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by stimuli appearing at attended and unattended locations. The voltage amplitudes and latencies of the P1, N1, P2, N2 and P3 visual components showed statistically significant differences in the attended condition with respect to the unattended one. The power spectral density of the EEG following stimulus onset was calculated. The difference between the spectral densities of the attended and unattended conditions was computed. Statistically significant differences were found in the decrease of alpha (9–11 Hz) and the increase of beta (15–17Hz) frequencies during the attention condition with respect to the unattended condition. These results suggest that the arrival of a visual stimulus during the attended condition generates a complex reorganization of neuronal activity in both time and frequency domains.
