Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Brain activity will be measured using Electroencephalography (EEG). Special interest will be in activity related to: - face processing (negative peak approximately 170 ms after stimulus presentation) - feedforward pathway activation - feedback pathway activation - horizontal pathway activation	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Behaviour will be measured in two tasks during the visual perception experiment: A. Categorization of faces, houses, objects, and stimuli containing lines B. Categorization of characteristics of a circle, which will be presented along with the faces, houses, objects, and stimuli containing lines	—
