Large-scale brain networks account for sustained and transient activity during target detection.

Journal article

Target detection paradigms have been widely applied in the study of human cognitive functions, particularly those associated with arousal, attention, stimulus processing and memory. In EEG recordings, the detection of task-relevant stimuli elicits the P300 component, a transient response with latency around 300 ms. The P300 response has been shown to be affected by the amount of mental effort and learning, as well as habituation. Furthermore, trial-by-trial variability of the P300 component h...
