Evoked Cortical Potentials and Information Processing.

Abstract

The present report details the results of three separate experiments, each consisting of two parts. Part B of Experiment I is a follow-up conducted in an attempt to explain apparent male-female differences found in Part A, in which the visual evoked potential (VEP) of males was enhanced with induced muscle tension (IMT) but no consistent effect on VEPs of females was observed. In Experiment II, the effects of contiguity of target (initial) and mask (later) visual stimuli on backward masking and the VEP was examined. Backward masking and the VEP, with new stimuli, was the focus of Experiment III. Experiment IV examined VEPs, from left and right hemispheres, to meaningful and non-meaningful stimuli. In Experiment V, the visual evoked potential (VEP) was measured under stimulus conditions in which the extent of visual masking varied.
