ABSTRACT
The object-context associations and the valence are two important stimulus attributes that influence visual perception. The current study investigates the neural sources associated with schema congruent and incongruent object-context associations within positive, negative, and neutral valence during an intermittent binocular rivalry task with simultaneous high-density EEG recording. Cortical sourceswere calculated using the sLORETA algorithm in 150 ms after stimulus onset (Stim + 150) and 400 ms before response (Resp-400) time windows. No significant difference in source activity was found between congruent and incongruent associations in any of the valence categories in the Stim + 150 ms window indicating that immediately after stimulus presentation the basic visual processing remains the same for both. In the Resp-400 ms window, different frontal regions showed higher activity for incongruent associations with different valence such as the superior frontal gyrus showed significantly higher activations for negative while the middle and medial frontal gyrus showed higher activations for neutral and finally, the inferior frontal gyrus showed higher activations for positive valence. Besides replicating the previous knowledge of frontal activations in response to context congruity, the current study provides further evidence for the sensitivity of the frontal lobe to the valence associated with the incongruent stimuli.
