Abstract:
:It is uncertain if the several brain areas in response to presemantic picture processing are functionally homogeneous. Subjects were asked to discriminate visual stimulus pairs and event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from the scalp. A line-drawing picture (S1) was followed by another stimulus (S2) 600 ms later. S2 was the same as S1 in condition 1, a reversed picture of S1 in condition 2, the corresponding Chinese word in condition 3 and the syllabic alphabet of S1 in condition 4. Amplitudes of ERPs over right posterior scalp with time window from 102-180 ms after the onset of S2 in condition 1 and 2 were significantly larger than condition 3 and 4. The N2 component on the right anterolateral scalp with time window from 182-240 ms was significantly larger in condition 1 than other conditions, whereas the N2 on the left anterolateral scalp with time window from 262-350 ms in condition 2, 3 and 4 was significantly larger than condition 1. It is suggested that pictures and words are processed in different systems at the presemantic stage: repetitive and physically deviant stimuli evoke different responses in different brain regions.
