“…We therefore see our results as an important contribution to the grasping literature. Our future work in this area will examine the concurrent behavioral and electroencephalographic (i.e., event-related brain potentials: ERP; see Heath et al, 2015b ) properties of pantomime-grasping responses performed with and without haptic feedback. In particular, the P300 ERP waveform is a component of interest because it reflects the updating of an internal mental model (Donchin and Coles, 1988 ).…”

An emerging issue in movement neurosciences is whether haptic feedback influences the nature of the information supporting a simulated grasping response (i.e., pantomime-grasping). In particular, recent work by our group contrasted pantomime-grasping responses performed with (i.e., PH+ trials) and without (i.e., PH− trials) terminal haptic feedback in separate blocks of trials. Results showed that PH− trials were mediated via relative visual information. In contrast, PH+ trials showed evidence of an absolute visuo-haptic calibration—a finding attributed to an error signal derived from a comparison between expected and actual haptic feedback (i.e., an internal forward model). The present study examined whether advanced knowledge of haptic feedback availability influences the aforementioned calibration process. To that end, PH− and PH+ trials were completed in separate blocks (i.e., the feedback schedule used in our group’s previous study) and a block wherein PH− and PH+ trials were randomly interleaved on a trial-by-trial basis (i.e., random feedback schedule). In other words, the random feedback schedule precluded participants from predicting whether haptic feedback would be available at the movement goal location. We computed just-noticeable-difference (JND) values to determine whether responses adhered to, or violated, the relative psychophysical principles of Weber’s law. Results for the blocked feedback schedule replicated our group’s previous work, whereas in the random feedback schedule PH− and PH+ trials were supported via relative visual information. Accordingly, we propose that a priori knowledge of haptic feedback is necessary to support an absolute visuo-haptic calibration. Moreover, our results demonstrate that the presence and expectancy of haptic feedback is an important consideration in contrasting the behavioral and neural properties of natural and simulated grasping.

“…A range of studies have demonstrated that event-related potential (ERP) is one powerful tool to investigate the mental rotation process [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Currently, the research on mental rotation are often carried out with the combination of ERP and behavioral data.…”

“…Heath et al examined the concurrent behavioral, ERP characteristics of a standard reaching task, and visuomotor mental rotation (VMR) tasks of

, and

of rotation. They found that the P300 amplitude was larger for the standard compared to each VMR task [ 9 ]. However, the current mental rotation research of ERP generally examines the temporal changes of ERP in some specific channels, or examines the changes in the brain topographical maps of a particular component over time, while rarely examining from the perspective of the whole brain pattern over space.…”

Mental rotation is generally analyzed based on event-related potential (ERP) in a time domain with several characteristic electrodes, but neglects the whole spatial-temporal brain pattern in the cognitive process which may reflect the underlying cognitive mechanism. In this paper, we mainly proposed an approach based on microstates to examine the encoding of mental rotation from the spatial-temporal changes of EEG signals. In particular, we collected EEG data from 11 healthy subjects in a mental rotation cognitive task using 12 different stimulus pictures representing left and right hands at various rotational angles. We applied the microstate method to investigate the microstates conveyed by the event-related potential extracted from EEG data during mental rotation, and obtained four microstate modes (referred to as modes A, B, C, D, respectively). Subsequently, we defined several measures, including microstate sequences, topographical map, hemispheric lateralization, and duration of microstate, to characterize the dynamics of microstates during mental rotation. We observed that (1) the microstates sequence had a specified progressing mode, i.e., A→B→A; (2) the activation of the right parietal occipital region was stronger than that of the left parietal occipital region according to the hemispheric lateralization of the microstates mode A; and (3) the duration of the second microstates mode A showed the shorter duration in the vertical stimuli, named “angle effect”.

“…In a broad sense, ERPs include N4 (N400), Mismatch Negativity (MMN) (Yu et al, 2015), and Comtingent negative variation (CNV), etc. (Heath et al, 2015). Many social cognitive activities occur or attitude is generated in a rapid way.…”

In order to use event-related potentials (ERPs) to reveal the neural mechanism of brain evoked potential analysis of consumers' nostalgic implicit preferences, this study selects the major consumers of nostalgic consumption, the post-80s, as samples and adopts a combination of behavioral experiments and brain evoked potential analysis experiments to study the consumers' nostalgic preferences. It holds that nostalgic products are more likely to induce participants' P2 component of brain evoked potential response to resource allocation, that is, nostalgic products are more able to attract consumers' attention unconsciously than the modern products. It is concluded that the N2 amplitude induced by the connection reaction of nostalgic products and negative sentiment vocabulary is significantly higher than that induced by its connection response with positive sentiment vocabulary. In addition, brain N2 component may be an indicator of implicit association test.
