Action-To-Stimulus Delay Graphs Show that High Points of Brain Waves and Correct Answers Occur

Caption

In a visual perception study by researchers at the University of Tokyo, participants' theta rhythm brain waves were measured by EEG (conceptually illustrated by orange lines) while an image was flashed before their eyes. Volunteers were more likely to correctly report (black lines) what image they had seen if the image was flashed at the same time as a high point of their attention brain wave.
