Encoding into Visual Working Memory: Event-Related Brain Potentials Reflect Automatic Processing of Seemingly Redundant Information

Figure 4

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) separately for ESS 4 and ESS 8 patterns with low and high complexity. In the early P3b, ESS 4 patterns with low complexity differ from the other three types of patterns (see Cz and Pz left column), showing a pronounced P3b peak. In the late P3b, ESS 8 patterns elicit a pronounced P3b compared with ESS 4 patterns. In addition, the P3b amplitude in ESS 8 patterns is affected by the complexity of the patterns; no effect of complexity is visible in ESS 4 patterns.
