Event-related desynchronization (ERD) during visual processing
Abstract
Event-related desynchronization (ERD) is the short-lasting attenuation or blocking of rhythms within the alpha (beta) band. ERD is found during but also before visual stimulation. Two different types of ERD can be differentiated: one short-lasting, localized to occipital areas and involving upper alpha components; the other longer lasting, more widespread, most prominent over parietal areas and maximal for lower alpha components. The former most likely reflects primary visual processing and feature extraction, the latter is more related to cognitive processing and mechanisms of attention.

“These brain areas have been associated with attentional mechanisms and cognitive processes in visual perception (Pfurtscheller et al., 1994; Vilhelmsen et al., 2019) and language (Brownsett and Wise, 2010; Benedek et al., 2014), and have strong links to sensorimotor cortex (Velasques et al., 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
