Abstract
In order to find visual analogies of our comprehensive auditory signal processing model, we carried out studies on psychological and physiological responses related to changes in the temporal factors affecting human vision. Since subjective preference is considered the most typical and primitive response of an organism, we anticipated certain types of results, such as neural correlates for preferred conditions in the persistence, temporal coherence, and extent of alpha rhythms in EEG and MEG signals, which were indeed confirmed.
