Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of the present study was to determine whether motion history affects motion-onset auditory-evoked potentials (motion-onset AEPs). AEPs were recorded from 33 EEG channels in 16 subjects to the motion onset of a sound (white noise) virtually moving in the horizontal plane at a speed of 60 deg/s from straight ahead to the left (-30 degrees ). AEPs for baseline and adaptation were compared. A stimulus trial comprised three consecutive phases: 2,000 ms adaptation phase, 1,000 ms stationary phase, and 500 ms test phase. During the adaptation phase of the adaptation condition, a sound source moved twice from +30 degrees to -30 degrees to top up preceding adaptation. In the baseline condition, neither top-up nor pre-adaptation were exerted. For both conditions, a stationary sound was presented centrally in the stationary phase, moving leftwards in the test phase. Typical motion-onset AEPs were obtained for the baseline condition, namely a fronto-central response complex dominated by a negative and a positive component, the so-called change-N1 and change-P2 after around 180 and 250 ms, respectively. For the adaptation condition, this complex was shifted significantly into the positive range, indicating that adaptation abolished a negativity within a time window of approximately 160 to 270 ms. A respective shift into the negative range was evident at occipito-parietal sites. In conclusion, while adaptation has to be taken into account as a potential confound in the design of motion-AEP studies, it might also be of benefit in order to isolate AEP correlates of motion processing.
