Low Frequency LFP in Macaque MT Predicts Reaction Time in an Attentive Task

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Neural oscillations are related to a wide variety of cognitive functions, including attention. However, there is still a controversy over the frequency bands that have functional roles in attention. In this study, using a spatial attention task we found that phase of low frequency oscillations could predict the reaction time of the monkey, when the monkey is attending to the target stimulus as opposed to attending a distractor. This finding provides strong evidence for the functional role of low frequency bands in attentional modulation of neural activities.
