Abstract:Visual symmetry activates a network of regions in the extrastriate
cortex and generates an event related potential (ERP) called the
sustained posterior negativity (SPN). Previous work has found that the
SPN is robust to experimental manipulations of task, spatial attention,
and memory load. In the current study, we investigated whether the SPN
is also robust to alcohol induced changes in mental state. A pilot
experiment (N = 13) found that alcohol unexpectedly increased SPN
amplitude. We followed this unexpect… Show more
