Multistable Visual Perception Induces a Slow Positive EEG Wave

Abstract

Seven subjects observed a multistable pattern (stroboscopic alternative motion: SAM), and were instructed to press the button immediately after perceptual switching with the aim of detecting some neu-rophysiological parameters of EEG activity. Our results indicate that the EEG changes observed during multistable perception are similar to the family of event related potentials which we called perceptual switching related positivity. Furthermore, the frequency component of this potential has a similarity to the frequency content of stimulus locked P300.
