Analysis of Visual Sensory Processing in the Brain and Brain-Computer Interfaces for Human Attention Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Wavelets in Neuroscience

Abstract

This chapter describes using wavelet analysis to study mechanisms of visual perception. First, we introduce an ambiguous visual stimulus, the Necker cube, a useful visual perception analysis tool. Second, we demonstrate how the wavelet-based methods reveal the local and network properties of the percept-related brain activity. Then, we considered the effect of the human condition (motivation and alertness) on the perceptive process. Finally, we review the basic principles of the brain-computer interfaces that use the wavelet-based algorithm to evaluate the human state in visual perception tasks.
