Title:
Individual differences in position tracking are related to peak occipital alpha frequency
Publication year: 2016

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Although position tracking has been well studied, its underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Individual differences in temporal and spatial aspects of position tracking can be exploited to elucidate such mechanisms. Individual differences in peak alpha frequency (PAF) have been linked to several cognitive tasks. Because the phase of alpha oscillations appears to predict perception of stimuli (e.g. Busch et al., 2009) it has been suggested to be the cause of periodic updating of perception. How neural oscillations contribute to sustaining attention to moving targets has not, to our knowledge, been investigated. If rhythmic processes do play a role in position updating during tracking, this may have implications for parallel/serial tracking mechanisms. We asked observers to attempt to track the position of either one or both of two discs. After a period of semi-random motion, both discs disappeared and observers indicated the final position of one target. We calculated spatial errors: the distance between the final position and the reported final positions of queried objects. We found poorer spatial precision for monitoring two targets than a single target, consistent with a resource model of position perception. On average, people tended to report slightly out of date positions, that is to say that reports exhibited perceptual lags (e.g. Howard & Holcombe, 2008). In a separate recording block we recorded observers' resting alpha activity. We assessed individuals' PAF as the greatest mode of the occipital EEG power spectrum between 8-12 Hz. We did not observe a strong relationship between PAF and perceptual lags as may be predicted from oscillation-based explanations of lags. However individuals' PAF was correlated with position report precision such that slower peak alpha was associated with greater spatial precision. We suggest a possible role for the period of alpha oscillations in determining the accumulation of spatially precise position information.

Slower resting alpha frequency is associated with superior localisation of moving targets
Publication year: 2017

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We examined the neurophysiological underpinnings of individual differences in the ability to maintain up-to-date representations of the positions of moving objects. In two experiments similar to the multiple object tracking (MOT) task, we asked observers to monitor continuously one or several targets as they moved unpredictably for a semi-random period. After all objects disappeared, observers were immediately prompted to report the perceived final position of one queried target. Precision of these position reports declined with attentional load, and reports tended to best resemble positions occupied by the queried target between 0 and 30 ms in the past. Measurement of event-related potentials showed a contralateral delay activity over occipital scalp, maximal in the right hemisphere. The peak power-spectral frequency of observers’ eyes-closed resting occipital alpha oscillations reliably predicted performance, such that lower-frequency alpha was associated with superior spatial localisation. Slower resting alpha might be associated with a cognitive style that depends less on memory-related processing and instead emphasises attention to changing stimuli.

ABSTRACT:
Although the mechanisms with which we track moving objects have been well studied, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Individual differences in resting peak alpha frequency (PAF) have been linked to several cognitive tasks: the phase of alpha oscillations appears to predict accurate perception of stimuli (e.g. Busch et al., 2009) and therefore it has been suggested to underlie periodic updating of perception. Whether or not these neural oscillations contribute to updating representations of moving targets has not, to our knowledge, been investigated. In two experiments, we asked observers to track the position of either one, two or four discs. After a period of semi-random motion, discs disappeared and observers indicated the final position of a queried target. We calculated spatial errors: the distance between the final position and the reported final positions of queried objects. We found poorer spatial precision for monitoring two targets than a single target, and poorer precision for four targets than two targets - consistent with a resource model of position perception. On average, people tended to report slightly out of date positions, that is to say that reports exhibited perceptual lags (e.g. Howard & Holcombe, 2008; Howard, Masom & Holcombe, 2011). In a separate recording block we recorded observers' resting alpha activity over occipital sites. We assessed individuals' PAF as the greatest mode of the occipital EEG power spectrum between 8-12 Hz. We did not observe a strong relationship between PAF and perceptual lags as may be predicted from oscillation-based explanations of lags. However, in several instances, individuals' PAF was correlated with position report precision such that slower peak alpha frequency at rest was associated with more precise reporting of targets’ positions. We suggest a possible role for the period of alpha oscillations in determining the accumulation of spatially precise position information.
