High-density scalp EEG data acquired in an inattentional blindness paradigm with background Gestalt stimuli.

ABSTRACT: Behavioral and electroencephalography (EEG) data were analyzed from 30 participants performing a demanding, attention-capturing task in which they had to detect an occasional decrement of luminance of small discs. Crucially, numerous white segments in the background were presented either in random orientations or configuring a contour shape of a square or a diamond. The participants' awareness of these background configurations was tested with a questionnaire after the first and second sessions. Based on the questionnaire responses, participants were divided into "aware" and "unaware" groups. These data may be of interest to researchers who wish to understand attentional effects on Gestalt integration processes, as well as luminance discrimination.

A high-density scalp EEG dataset acquired during brief naps after a visual working memory task.

Project description:There is growing interest in understanding how specific neural events that occur during sleep, including characteristic spindle oscillations between 10 and 16 Hz (Hz), are related to learning and memory. Neural events can be recorded during sleep using the well-known method of scalp electroencephalography (EEG). While publicly available sleep EEG datasets exist, most consist of only a few channels collected in specific patient groups being evaluated overnight for sleep disorders in clinical settings. The dataset described in this Data in Brief includes 22 participants who each participated in EEG recordings on two separate days. The dataset includes manual annotation of sleep stages and 2528 manually annotated spindles. Signals from 64-channels were continuously recorded at 1 kHz with a high-density active electrode system while participants napped for 30 or 60 min inside a sound-attenuated testing booth after performing a high- or low-load visual working memory task where load was randomized across recording days. The high-density EEG datasets present several advantages over single- or few-channel datasets including most notably the opportunity to explore spatial differences in the distribution of neural events, including whether spindles occur locally on only a few channels or co-occur globally across many channels, whether spindle frequency, duration, and amplitude vary as a function of brain hemisphere and anterior-posterior axis, and whether the probability of spindle occurrence varies as a function of the phase of ongoing slow oscillations. The dataset, along with python source code for file input and signal processing, is made freely available at the Open Science Framework through the link https://osf.io/chav7/.

Social inattentional blindness to idea stealing in meetings.

Project description:Using a virtual reality social experiment, participants (N = 154) experienced being at the table during a decision-making meeting and identified the best solutions generated. During the meeting, one meeting participant repeated another participant's idea, presenting it as his own. Although this idea stealing was clearly visible and audible, only 30% of participants correctly identified who shared the idea first. Subsequent analyses suggest that the social environment affected this novel form of inattentional blindness. Although there was no experimental effect of team diversity on noticing, there was correlational evidence of an indirect effect of perceived team status on noticing via attentional engagement. In sum, this paper extends the inattentional blindness phenomenon to a realistic professional interaction and demonstrates how features of the social environment can reduce social inattention.

Sustained Inattentional Blindness Does Not Always Decrease With Age.

Project description:Children usually miss additional information when they focus on objects or events. This common phenomenon is termed as inattentional blindness. To explore the age-related degree of this phenomenon, we applied a motion task to study the developmental difference of inattentional blindness. A group of 7-to-14-year-old children and adults participated in Experiment 1. The results showed that there was no significant developmental difference in sustained inattentional blindness. Considering that young children's performance on the primary task was poor, we hypothesized that the difficulty of the primary task may contribute to the negative findings. Therefore, we decreased the difficulty of the primary task in Experiment 2. Still, the developmental difference in inattentional blindness rates was absent. Overall, current results implied that the ability of a person to detect an unexpected moving stimuli does not always increase with age. The age-related inattentional blindness seems highly dependent on tasks.

Now or never: noticing occurs early in sustained inattentional blindness.

Project description:People can show sustained inattentional blindness for unexpected objects visible for seconds or even minutes. Would such objects eventually be noticed given enough time, with the likelihood of noticing accumulating while the unexpected object is visible? Or, is there a narrow window around onset or offset when an object is most likely to be detected, with the chances of noticing dropping outside of that window? Across three experiments (total n's = 283, 756, 488) exploring the temporal dynamics of noticing in sustained inattentional blindness, subjects who noticed the unexpected object did so soon after it onset. Doubling or even tripling the time when the unexpected object was visible barely affected the likelihood of noticing it and had no impact on how accurately subjects reported its features. When people notice an unexpected object in these sustained inattentional blindness tasks, they do so soon after the unexpected object onsets.

Does Expertise Reduce Rates of Inattentional Blindness? A Meta-Analysis.

Project description:Inattentional blindness occurs when one fails to notice a fully visible stimulus because one's attention is on another task. Researchers have suggested that expertise at this other task should reduce rates of inattentional blindness. However, research on the topic has produced mixed findings. To gain clarity on the issue, we meta-analyzed the extant studies (K = 14; N = 1153). On average, experts showed only a slight reduction in rates of inattentional blindness: 62% of novices experienced inattentional blindness compared to 56% of experts, weighted odds ratio = 1.33, 95% CI [0.78, 2.28]. The relevance of the stimuli to the experts' domain of expertise showed no notable moderating effects. The low number of the included studies, and the small sample sizes of the original studies, weaken our conclusions. Nonetheless, when taken together, the available evidence provides little support for any reliable influence of expertise on rates of inattentional blindness.

Inattentional blindness in anesthesiology: A gorilla is worth one thousand words.

Project description:IntroductionPeople are not able to anticipate unexpected events. Inattentional blindness is demonstrated to happen not only in naïve observers engaged in an unfamiliar task but also in field experts with years of training. Anaesthesia is the perfect example of a discipline which requires a high level of attention and our aim was to evaluate if inattentional blindness can affect anesthesiologists during their daily activities.Materials and methodsAn online survey was distributed on Facebook between May 1, 2021 and May 31, 2021. The survey consisted of five simulated cases with questions investigating the anesthetic management of day-case surgeries. Each case had an introduction, a chest radiography, an electrocardiogram, preoperative blood testing and the last case had a gorilla embedded in the chest radiography.ResultsIn total 699 respondents from 17 different countries were finally included in the analysis. The main outcome was to assess the incidence of inattentional blindness. Only 34 (4.9%) respondents were able to spot the gorilla. No differences were found between anesthesiologists or residents, private or public hospitals, or between medical doctors with different experience.DiscussionOur findings assess that inattentional blindness is common in anesthesia, and ever-growing attention is deemed necessary to improve patient safety; to achieve this objective several strategies should be adopted such as an increased use of standardized protocols, promoting automation based strategies to reduce human error when performing repetitive tasks and discouraging evaluation of multiple consecutive patients in the same work shifts independently of the associated complexity.

The Sensitivity of Scalp EEG at Detecting Seizures-A Simultaneous Scalp and Stereo EEG Study.

Project description:PurposeCompare the detection rate of seizures on scalp EEG with simultaneous intracranial stereo EEG (SEEG) recordings.MethodsTwenty-seven drug-resistant epilepsy patients undergoing SEEG with simultaneous scalp EEG as part of their surgical work-up were included. A total of 172 seizures were captured.ResultsOf the 172 seizures detected on SEEG, 100 demonstrated scalp ictal patterns. Focal aware and subclinical seizures were less likely to be seen on scalp, with 33% of each observed when compared with focal impaired aware (97%) and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (100%) (P < 0.001). Of the 72 seizures without ictal scalp correlate, 32 demonstrated an abnormality during the SEEG seizure that was identical to an interictal abnormality. Seizures from patients with MRI lesions were statistically less likely to be seen on scalp than seizures from nonlesional patients (P = 0.0162). Stereo EEG seizures not seen on scalp were shorter in duration (49 seconds) compared with SEEG seizures seen on scalp (108.6 seconds) (P < 0.001).ConclusionsScalp EEG is not a sensitive tool for the detection of focal aware and subclinical seizures but is highly sensitive for the detection of focal impaired aware and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures. Longer duration of seizure and seizures from patients without MRI lesions were more likely to be apparent on scalp. Abnormalities seen interictally may at times represent an underlying seizure. The cognitive, affective, and behavioral long-term effects of ongoing difficult-to-detect seizures are not known.

Physiological artifacts in scalp EEG and ear-EEG.

Project description:A problem inherent to recording EEG is the interference arising from noise and artifacts. While in a laboratory environment, artifacts and interference can, to a large extent, be avoided or controlled, in real-life scenarios this is a challenge. Ear-EEG is a concept where EEG is acquired from electrodes in the ear.We present a characterization of physiological artifacts generated in a controlled environment for nine subjects. The influence of the artifacts was quantified in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) deterioration of the auditory steady-state response. Alpha band modulation was also studied in an open/closed eyes paradigm.Artifacts related to jaw muscle contractions were present all over the scalp and in the ear, with the highest SNR deteriorations in the gamma band. The SNR deterioration for jaw artifacts were in general higher in the ear compared to the scalp. Whereas eye-blinking did not influence the SNR in the ear, it was significant for all groups of scalps electrodes in the delta and theta bands. Eye movements resulted in statistical significant SNR deterioration in both frontal, temporal and ear electrodes. Recordings of alpha band modulation showed increased power and coherence of the EEG for ear and scalp electrodes in the closed-eyes periods.Ear-EEG is a method developed for unobtrusive and discreet recording over long periods of time and in real-life environments. This study investigated the influence of the most important types of physiological artifacts, and demonstrated that spontaneous activity, in terms of alpha band oscillations, could be recorded from the ear-EEG platform. In its present form ear-EEG was more prone to jaw related artifacts and less prone to eye-blinking artifacts compared to state-of-the-art scalp based systems.

Scalp and Source Power Topography in Sleepwalking and Sleep Terrors: A High-Density EEG Study.

Project description:Study objectivesTo examine scalp and source power topography in sleep arousals disorders (SADs) using high-density EEG (hdEEG).MethodsFifteen adult subjects with sleep arousal disorders (SADs) and 15 age- and gender-matched good sleeping healthy controls were recorded in a sleep laboratory setting using a 256 channel EEG system.ResultsScalp EEG analysis of all night NREM sleep revealed a localized decrease in slow wave activity (SWA) power (1-4 Hz) over centro-parietal regions relative to the rest of the brain in SADs compared to good sleeping healthy controls. Source modelling analysis of 5-minute segments taken from N3 during the first half of the night revealed that the local decrease in SWA power was prominent at the level of the cingulate, motor, and sensori-motor associative cortices. Similar patterns were also evident during REM sleep and wake. These differences in local sleep were present in the absence of any detectable clinical or electrophysiological sign of arousal.ConclusionsOverall, results suggest the presence of local sleep differences in the brain of SADs patients during nights without clinical episodes. The persistence of similar topographical changes in local EEG power during REM sleep and wakefulness points to trait-like functional changes that cross the boundaries of NREM sleep. The regions identified by source imaging are consistent with the current neurophysiological understanding of SADs as a disorder caused by local arousals in motor and cingulate cortices. Persistent localized changes in neuronal excitability may predispose affected subjects to clinical episodes.

Enhanced resting-state oscillations in schizophrenia are associated with decreased synchronization during inattentional blindness.

Project description:Patients suffering from schizophrenia have been characterized by an apparent lack of theta (around 6 Hz) and gamma (>40 Hz) brain oscillatory activity during task execution. The neurocognitive reasons for these abnormal synchronization patterns, however, remain elusive. Recording the electroencephalogramm (EEG) during a selective visual attention task, the current study investigates whether abnormal brain oscillatory resting-state activity in the theta band might account for a lack of task-related brain oscillatory activity in schizophrenia. EEGs were recorded from 26 patients with schizophrenia and 26 healthy matched controls during rest and during the execution of a selective visual attention task, in which an unexpected object (monkey) appeared on the screen. On a behavioral level, patients were less likely to report perceiving the unexpected event than controls. Controls showed a stronger increase in task-related theta power than patients in prefrontal, parietal, and occipital brain regions. Task-related theta power change differed between patients who perceived, and patients who did not perceive the unexpected event. Moreover, patients showed higher levels of theta power during rest than controls, whereas the absolute theta power values during the selective attention task did not differ between groups. These results suggest that the failure to increase oscillatory activity during a cognitive task can be accounted for by abnormally high oscillatory activity in a resting state. This finding has important implications for future studies examining abnormal brain oscillatory activity in schizophrenia, which usually treat resting-state activity as a baseline for task-related activity.
