Figure Lengend Snippet: a (left) Topographic representation of the 60 Hz RIFT signal (uncombined planar gradiometers), averaged over participants in the 0.1–0.5 s interval ( t = 0 s is the onset of the search display). The RIFT response is confined to the occipital sensors. (right) Source modelling demonstrates that the RIFT response was primarily generated in the early visual cortex. The source grid has been masked to show the 1% most strongly activated grid points (MNI coordinates [0 −92 −4]). b Grand average spectrum, obtained by averaging over the participant-specific sensors of interest, indicating peaks at the 60 and 67 Hz stimulation frequency. c Grand average of the time-frequency representation of coherence between the MEG sensors and the RIFT signal, demonstrating an early, unspecific response in the gamma-band, followed by narrow-band responses at the stimulation frequency. d Set size 16. The responses to the distractor colour are significantly reduced for guided compared to unguided search ( p < 0.05; multiple comparison controlled using a cluster-based permutation test in the 0.1–0.5 s interval). There is no evidence for target boosting for this set size. e Set size 32. The RIFT responses to the guided target colour are significantly enhanced and the responses to the guided distractor colour are significantly reduced compared to the unguided search condition ( p < 0.05; cluster-based permutation test).

Article Snippet: This interval was chosen to avoid confounds with the broadband gamma response to the onset of the display Fig. . For each window, coherence between the MEG and RIFT signal was estimated based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT; zero-padded to 512 samples), and averaged over all windows to obtain one coherence value per trial (as implemented by the mscohere function in MATLAB).

Figure Lengend Snippet: a (left, top) The coherence between the signal-trial MEG data and RIFT signal was quantified using a sliding-window FFT approach, whereby the coherence was estimated by averaging over the 0.1 s in the 0.2–0.5 s interval (moved in steps of 0.025 s). (left, bottom) The topography of the coherence (combined planar gradiometers) suggests a response in the occipital sensors. (right) The RIFT response to the target and distractor was then concatenated into one vector, and submitted to a GLM with the factors target colour (T), unguided (U), distractor colour (D), and time-on-task (tot). b The contrast between the regressors associated with the target colour and unguided, and between distractor colour and unguided, was compared to 0 using a cluster-based permutation test (5000 permutations). The model fitted to the set size 16 conditions yielded no significant results but suggested reduced responses for distractors compared to unguided stimuli ( p = 0.08). c The model fitted to the set size 32 conditions replicated the magnitude-squared coherence results reported above, with a significantly stronger response to the target colour compared to unguided and a significantly reduced response to the distractor colour.
