(a) Group average MCE after left upper and left
lower quadrant pattern reversals, integrated from 50 to 400 ms after
stimulus. Note that averaging the signal from 50 to 400 ms makes
the earliest transient activation poorly visible. The four distinct
ROIs are in the posterior inferior occipital cortex (a and a′), in the
anteromedial cuneus (b), in the temporooccipital junction (c), and in
the superior temporal sulcus (d). After left lower quadrant stimuli,
the group average MCE separate poorly the cuneus and occipital sources
because the two areas are close together and there is some
interindividual variance in locations—the two distinct sources were
better separable in individual data. (b) Group average
amplitude as a function of time for BW pattern reversal, luminance
onset, and equiluminant RG pattern reversal stimuli at the left upper
quadrant. The dashed vertical lines indicate latencies at 67 and 97 ms.
The amplitude curves reflect group average activity at the mean
locations of the individual sources, determined from BW data.
