Electrophysiological correlates of human texture segregation, an overview

'Texture segregation' results from parallel processing in the visual cortex . It occurs when the stimulus contains spatial gradients within a visual di mension. We here present an introductory overview of the field, concentrati ng on electrophysiological correlates in the human EEG ('tsVEPs') of the ne uronal processes underlying texture segregation. We describe the isolation of the tsVEP from the background EEG, give examples of the correlation betw een saliency and tsVEP amplitude and compare texture segregation between vi sual dimensions.
