The connection of P300 subcomponents with visual spatial attention remains obscure. In the experiment conducted in three-stimulus «oddball» paradigm we showed that in case of overt attention P300 resembles P3b – it has a longer peak latency and temporo-parietal source localization (lingual and cingulate gyrus, precuneus). Alternatively, in case of covert attention it has frontal localization and a longer peak latency that is similar to P3a and nP3 subcomponents. Our data clarifies the association between P300 and visual spatial attention and may be useful for optimization of P300-based brain-computer interfaces.

Связь между субкомпонентами волны P300 в структуре зрительного вызванного потенциала и пространственным зрительным вниманием остается недостаточно изученной. В эксперименте с применением модифицированной трехстимульной «одбол»- (ориг. «oddball») парадигмы было показано, что при фокусировании открытого зрительного внимания волна P300 обладает свойствами субкомпонента P3b – средней латентностью пика и теменно-затылочной локализацией источников в области язычной и поясной извилины, а также предклинья. В случае скрытого внимания полученный субкомпонент оказывается похож на субкомпоненты P3a и nP3 (фронтальная локализация источников вкупе с увеличенной латентностью пика). Полученные данные могут быть использованы для расширения представлений о связи волны P300 и системы зрительного внимания, а также при разработке нейроинтерфейсных систем, использующих различные формы пространственного зрительного внимания.
