    Brain responses to infrequent stimuli are stronger than to frequent stimuli. This finding holds true for both counting and guessing tasks, influencing late positive components of brain potentials.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Saccade-related brain potentials, specifically lambda responses, are crucial for understanding visual processing and attention.
    • Stimulus probability is a key factor influencing cognitive and neural responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of stimulus probability on late components of saccade-related brain potentials (lambda responses).
    • To compare these effects across 'counting' and 'guessing' experimental paradigms.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants performed saccadic eye movements towards target stimuli presented with varying probabilities (0.17, 0.33, 0.50).
    • Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to record brain activity from six scalp locations.
    • Two tasks were employed: a 'counting' task and a 'guessing' task.

    Main Results:

    • Late positive components of lambda responses exhibited significantly greater amplitude for infrequent stimuli compared to frequent stimuli.
    • This effect was consistent across both the counting and guessing paradigms.
    • Principal component analysis identified factors related to P300 and slow wave components.

    Conclusions:

    • Stimulus probability significantly modulates late components of saccade-related brain potentials.
    • The findings suggest that the brain's processing of infrequent events is more pronounced, irrespective of explicit task demands like counting or guessing.
