Global and local information processing in children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD): the role of spatial frequency processing
M.A. Boeschoten, C. Kemner, J.L. Kenemans, H. van Engeland
Under revision.
Abstract:
Converging evidence suggests that atypical global-local processing (i.e., a local bias) is an important feature of PDD. The neurocognitive basis of this phenomenon is unclear. This study tested whether a local bias in the Navon task in children with PDD was related to an abnormal processing of spatial frequency content. To this end, performance and event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to low-pass and high-pass filtered hierarchical stimuli were measured in children with PDD and matched controls.
In line with earlier findings, spatial frequency processing was abnormal in the children with PDD: they showed less robust spatial frequency-related differences in ERP amplitude at occipital electrodes in comparison to controls. Moreover, spatial frequency was associated with global-local processing. However, the atypical spatial frequency processing appeared not to be associated with abnormal global-local processing in the children with PDD. Instead, both groups of children showed the same effects of spatial frequency content on global-local processing as reflected by reaction time, ERP latency, and ERP amplitude.
In conclusion, although atypical spatial frequency processing might be an important characteristic of PDD, the findings of this study do not support it being an explanation for the abnormal global-local processing often seen in subjects with PDD. However, in this study stimulus properties may have obscured the findings on global-local processing. Therefore, more research using different types of filtered global-local stimuli is strongly recommended.

When a photograph can be heard: Vision activates the auditory cortex within 110ms
Proverbio, Alice Mado, D'Aniello, Guido Edoardo, Adorni, Roberta, Zani, Alberto
Scientific Reports, 1, 2011/08/04.
Abstract:
As the makers of silent movies knew well, it is not necessary to provide an actual auditory stimulus to activate the sensation of sounds typically associated with what we are viewing. Thus, you could almost hear the neigh of Rodolfo Valentino\'s horse, even though the film was mute. Evidence is provided that the mere sight of a photograph associated with a sound can activate the associative auditory cortex. High-density ERPs were recorded in 15 participants while they viewed hundreds of perceptually matched images that were associated (or not) with a given sound. Sound stimuli were discriminated from non-sound stimuli as early as 110 ms. SwLORETA reconstructions showed common activation of ventral stream areas for both types of stimuli and of the associative temporal cortex, at the earliest stage, only for sound stimuli. The primary auditory cortex (BA41) was also activated by sound images after ~ 200 ms.

Frontal phasic and oscillatory generators of the N30 somatosensory evoked potential
Cebolla AM, Palmero-Soler E, Dan B, Cheron G.
Neuroimage. 2010 Sep 7. (ahead of print), 2010.
Abstract:
The N30 component of somatosensory evoked potentials has been recognized as a crucial index of brain sensorimotor processing and has been increasingly used clinically. Previously, we have shown that the N30 is accompanied by both an increase of the power spectrum of the ongoing beta-gamma EEG (event related synchronization, ERS) and by a reorganization (phase-locking) of the spontaneous phase of this rhythm (inter-trials coherency, ITC). In order to localize its sources taking into account both the phasic and oscillatory aspects of the phenomenon, we here apply swLORETA methods on averaged signals of the event-related potential (ERP) from a 128 scalp-electrodes array in time domain and also on raw EEG signals in frequency domain at the N30 peak latency. We demonstrate that the two different mechanisms that generate the N30 component power increase (ERS) and phase locking (ITC) across EEG trials are spatially localized in overlapping areas in the precentral cortex, namely the motor cortex (BA4) and the premotor cortex (BA6). From this common region, the generator of the N30 event-related potential expands toward the posterior part of BA4, the anterior part of BA6 and the prefrontal cortex (BA9). These latter areas also present significant ITC sources in the beta-gamma frequency range, but without significant power increase of this rhythm. This demonstrates that N30 results from network activity that depends on distinct oscillating and phasic generators localized in the frontal cortex.

Early visually evoked electrophysiological responses over the human brain (P1, N170) show stable patterns of face-sensitivity from 4 years to adulthood
Dana Kuefner, Adelaide de Heering, Corentin Jacques, Ernesto Palmero-Soler and Bruno Rossion
2010.
Abstract:
Whether the development of face recognition abilities truly reflects changes in how faces, specifically, are perceived, or rather can be attributed to more general perceptual or cognitive development, is debated. Event-related potential (ERP) recordings on the scalp offer promise for this issue because they allow brain responses to complex visual stimuli to be relatively well isolated from other sensory, cognitive and motor processes. ERP studies in 5- to 16-year-old children report large age-related changes in amplitude, latency (decreases) and topographical distribution of the early visual components, the P1 and the occipito-temporal N170. To test the face specificity of these effects, we recorded high-density ERPs to pictures of faces, cars, and their phase-scrambled versions from 72 children between the ages of 4 and 17 and a group of , adults. We found that none of the previously reported age-dependent changes in amplitude, latency or topography of the P1 or N170 were specific to faces. Most importantly, when we controlled for age-related variations of the P1, the N170 appeared remarkably similar in amplitude and topography across development, with much smaller age-related decreases in latencies than previously reported. At all ages the N170 showed equivalent face-sensitivity: it had the same topography and right hemisphere dominance, it was absent for meaningless (scrambled) stimuli, and larger and earlier for faces than cars. The data also illustrate the large amount of inter- individual and inter-trial variance in young children`s data, which causes the N170 to merge with a later component, the N250, in grand-averaged data. Based on our observations, we suggest that the previously reported `bi-fid` N170 of young children is in fact the N250. Overall, our data indicate that the electrophysiological markers of face-sensitive perceptual processes are present from 4 years of age and do not appear to change throughout development

The neuronal sources of EEG : modeling of simultaneous scalp and intracerebral recordings in epilepsy.
Cosandier-Rimele D., Merlet I., Badier J.M., Chauvel P., Wendling F.
Neuroimage, 42(1): 135-146, 2008.
Abstract:
In many applications which make use of EEG to investigate brain functions, a central question is often to relate the recorded signals to the spatio-temporal organization of the underlying neuronal sources of activity. A modeling attempt to quantitatively investigate this imperfectly known relationship is reported. The proposed plausible model of EEG generation relies on an accurate representation of the neuronal sources of activity. It combines both an anatomically realistic description of the spatial features of the sources (convoluted dipole layer) and a physiologically relevant description of their temporal activities (coupled neuronal populations). The model was used in the particular context of epileptiform activity (interictal spikes) to interpret simultaneously generated scalp and intracerebral EEG. Its integrative properties allowed for the bridging between source-related parameters (spatial extent, location, synchronization) and the properties of resulting EEG signals (amplitude of spikes, amplitude gradient along intracerebral electrodes, topography over scalp electrodes). The sensitivity of both recording modalities to source-related parameters was also studied. The model confirmed that the cortical area involved in interictal spikes is rather large. Its relative location with respect to recording electrodes was found to strongly influence the properties of EEG signals as the source geometry is a critical parameter. The influence, on simulated signals, of the synchronization degree between neuronal populations within the epileptic source was also investigated. The model revealed that intracerebral EEG can reflect epileptic activities corresponding to weak synchronization between neuronal populations of the epileptic patch. These results, as well as the limitations of the model, are discussed.

Abnormal spatial frequency processing in high functioning children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)
M.A. Boeschoten, C. Kemner, J.L. Kenemans, H. van Engeland
Clinical Neurophysiology, Vol 118(9):2076-88, 2007.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Basic abnormalities in visual information processing could be associated with the local visual bias often found in subjects with PDD. Therefore, the present study investigated the existence of deficits in spatial frequency processing at an early sensory level in children with PDD.
METHODS: Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) and VEP dipole sources elicited by high and low spatial frequency gratings were analysed in children with PDD and matched controls.
RESULTS: Children with PDD did not show the same robust differences between high and low spatial frequencies in VEP peaks (N80/P1) and VEP brain sources as control children, mainly because of atypical processing of high spatial frequencies.
CONCLUSIONS: Decreased specialized processing of high and low spatial frequencies might be a robust characteristic of PDD. Because the processing of local and global aspects in visual information is associated with the processing of high and low spatial frequencies, respectively (e.g., Goffaux et al., 2005; Boeschoten et al., 2005a), the present data suggest that the local visual bias in subjects with PDD might be associated with an abnormality spatial frequency processing.
SIGNIFICANCE: The existence of an abnormality in spatial frequency processing in PDD is validated

Face processing in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD): the roles of expertise and spatial frequency
M.A. Boeschoten, C. Kemner, J.L. Kenemans, H. van Engeland
Journal of Neural Transmission, Jul 18, 2007.
Abstract:
Both a reduced face expertise and a basic abnormality in visual information, e.g. spatial frequency, processing have been proposed as possible causes of the abnormal face processing in PDD. This study investigated both the roles of expertise and spatial frequency for face processing in PDD. Event-related potentials (ERPs) and dipole sources were measured in response to (upright/inverted) high- and low-pass filtered faces, houses, and stimuli for which children with PDD were experts. ERP analyses for specific posterior electrodes showed no differences between children with PDD and matched controls, but source analyses did. These showed that controls activated specialized brain sources for the processing of faces, which was dependent on low spatial frequency content. However, PDD children did not. Importantly, present results argue against the idea that this is due to a reduced face expertise on the part of the PDD children, but instead support an abnormality in spatial frequency processing.

Influence of Anisotropic Conductivity on EEG Source Reconstruction: Investigations in a Rabbit Model

IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng., Vol. 53, No. 9, 1841-1850, 2006.
Abstract:
The aim of our work was to quantify the influence of white matter anisotropic conductivity information on electroencephalography (EEG) source reconstruction. We performed this quantification in a rabbit head using both simulations and source localization based on invasive measurements. In vivo anisotropic (tensorial) conductivity information was obtained from magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging and included into a high-resolution
finite-element model. When neglecting anisotropy in the simulations, we found a shift in source location of up to 1.3 mm with a mean value of 0.3 mm. The averaged orientational deviation was 10 degree and the mean magnitude error of the dipole was 29%%. Source localization of the first cortical components after median and tibial nerve stimulation resulted in anatomically verified dipole positions with no significant anisotropy effect. Our results indicate that the expected average source localization error due to anisotropic white matter conductivity is within the principal accuracy limits of current inverse procedures. However, larger localization errors might occur in certain cases. In contrast, dipole orientation and dipole strength are influenced significantly by the anisotropy. We conclude that the inclusion of tissue anisotropy information improves source estimation procedures.

Time-varying differences in evoked potentials elicited by high versus low spatial frequencies: a topographical and source analysis
M.A. Boeschoten, C. Kemner, J.L. Kenemans, H. van Engeland
Clinical Neurophysiology, Vol 116(8):1956-1966, 2005.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate time-varying differences in visual-evoked potentials (VEPs) and dipoles elicited by high versus low spatial frequencies. The main question was whether different spatial frequencies are processed in distinct cortical areas, especially after 100 ms. An additional question was whether and how a hemispheric balance in spatial frequency processing develops over time. METHODS: Stimuli were square-wave gratings, with spatial frequencies of 0.75, 1.5, and 6 c/d. VEPs and dipole models were analyzed at various latencies. RESULTS: For the time-window of 80-100 ms, spatial frequency-related differences in VEPs and dipoles in posterior regions as reported previously were replicated: lower spatial frequencies were associated with more positivity in the VEP and with more anterior and radial sources than high frequencies. However, after 100 ms differences in amplitude, but not in topography and dipoles, were found between the different spatial frequencies. Between 180-200 ms a right hemisphere dominance was found for all frequencies. CONCLUSIONS: After 100 ms, VEPs in response to different spatial frequencies seem to be generated in the same cortical areas. Also, no evidence for frequency-related hemispheric lateralization was found. SIGNIFICANCE: Insight is provided into the functional-anatomical basis of longer-latency frequency-related differences in processing.

The relationship between local and global processing and the processing of high and low spatial frequencies studied by event-related potentials and source modeling
M.A. Boeschoten, C. Kemner, J.L. Kenemans, H. van Engeland
Cognitive Brain Research, Vol. 24(2): 228-236, 2005.
Abstract:
The processing of global and local elements and of low- and high-spatial frequencies are thought to be interrelated. Evidence for this stems from findings showing that brain localizations for global/local elements and for low/high spatial frequencies seem to overlap. The present study aimed to provide direct evidence that topographical differences between the processing of global and local visual elements can directly be explained by their spatial frequency content, and to study at which point in time this relation is present. This was done by studying the event-related potentials (ERPs) and source models elicited by unfiltered, low- or high-pass filtered hierarchical stimuli. Results showed that performance for global and local targets was affected by removing low and high spatial frequencies, respectively. ERP data indicated that at 250 ms, there was an interaction between the processing of global/local targets and of spatial frequencies because at this time-point removal of low spatial frequencies decreased activity associated with the processing of global targets. When localizing this effect, we found evidence implying that spatial frequency content indeed affected the brain region in which local/global targets were processed. Results implicated that the processing of global information depended on its low spatial frequency content, which was processed more laterally. Instead, processing of local information seemed to depend on its high spatial frequency content, which was processed more medially. Thereby, present results extend former results showing that global and local processing is dependent on spatial frequency and mapped retinotopically in the visual cortex.
