An EEG Study on the Rhythmic Nature of Perception and Attention

EEG Study of the Rhythmic Nature of Human Visual Perception and Attention

The study involved healthy volunteers (n= 200), in a single center, low-risk intervention protocol of a non-profit nature. The objective of the study is to investigate the neural mechanisms of visual perception and attention, with particular reference to neural oscillations, in the general population through electroencephalogram (EEG) recording and the administration of simple visual tasks on a PC. The study presented is not associated with risks, as EEG is a non-invasive technique for which there are no known contraindications or adverse reactions.
