Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated and established a method to measure the distribution of visual attention by using visually evoked potential (VEP). When an image of visual scene is sectored and each sector flickers in time, VEPs with corresponding temporal frequency (SSVEP) will be induced. By monitoring the changes in amplitude of this SSVEP we can monitor the state of visual attention at each sector. In the present study, we sectored left/right eye images in different ways; e.g., left-eye image was sectored vertically and right-eye image was sectored horizontally. If the number of vertical and horizontal sectors are 5 and 3, respectively, the total number of frequency used is 8 but we can obtain attentional state of 15 sectors. According to the reduction of SSVEP frequencies, it was possible to obtain better S/N ratio, and we succeeded in estimating the focus of attention by this method.
