Analysis of EEG Relating to Subjective Preference for Horizontal Visual Motion

Human visual perception has been investigated extensively in both psychological and physiological studies. However the relationship between human psychological responses such as subjective preference and physiological response to visual stimulus is still unclear. In a complete description of the human perceptual evaluation of the environment, both subjective and objective evaluations need to be considered. Therefore, this study focuses on the relationship between the objective, by measuring the human brain response, and the subjective induced by varying stimulus parameters of visual environments. It is reported that electroencephalograms (EEGs) correspond well to alpha waves, which are always produced in relaxed states and are associated with free creative thought, and so are useful in discussions of human brain activity in relation to human behavioral states [1].
