- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Brain activity will be measured using Electroencephalography (EEG). Special<br /><br>interest will be in activity related to:<br /><br>- face processing (negative peak approximately 170 ms after stimulus<br /><br>presentation)<br /><br>- feedforward pathway activation<br /><br>- feedback pathway activation<br /><br>- horizontal pathway activation</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Behaviour will be measured in two tasks during the visual perception experiment:<br /><br>A. Categorization of faces, houses, objects, and stimuli containing lines<br /><br>B. Categorization of characteristics of a circle, which will be presented along<br /><br>with the faces, houses, objects, and stimuli containing lines</p><br>
