Considerable interest has been raised by non-phase-locked episodes
of synchronization in the gamma-band (30-60 Hz). One of their putative
roles in the visual modality is feature-binding. We tested the stimulus
specificity of high-frequency oscillations in humans using three types
of visual stimuli: two coherent stimuli (a Kanizsa and a real triangle)
and a noncoherent stimulus (``no-triangle stimulus''). The task of
the subject was to count the occurrences of a curved illusory triangle.
A time-frequency analysis of single-trial EEG data recorded from eight
human subjects was performed to characterize phase-locked as well as
non-phase-locked high-frequency activities.
We found an early phase-locked 40 Hz component, maximal at electrodes
Cz-C4, which does not vary with stimulation type. We describe a second
40 Hz component, appearing around 280 msec, that is not phase-locked to
stimulus onset. This component is stronger in response to a coherent
triangle, whether real or illusory: it could reflect, therefore, a
mechanism of feature binding based on high-frequency synchronization.
Because both the illusory and the real triangle are more target-like,
it could also correspond to an oscillatory mechanism for testing the
match between stimulus and target. At the same latencies, the
low-frequency evoked response components phase-locked to stimulus onset
behave differently, suggesting that low- and high-frequency activities
have different functional roles.
