Аннотация:For successful goal-directed behaviour, it’s crucial to attend relevant stimuli in the
visual field while ignoring distractor elements. The oculomotor system is a good model for the
study of this competition between different elements. The goal of this research was to analyse
spatial-temporal parameters of saccades and presaccadic EEG-potentials at the simultaneous
presentation of the target and distracting stimuli to the leading and unleading eye. The complex
of the positive and negative potentials was revealed in the saccade latent period. Latency of all
components was shorter upon presentation of stimuli to the left, unleading eye, that may indicate
the earlier saccade preparation. At the same time LP saccades were longer in this conditions
(p<0.05). The results show that early potentials N1 and P1 were higher in amplitude and
dominated in the controlateral parietal-occipital areas. It can be reflection of visual sensory
processing. The amplitude of the later negative potential N2 at the stimulation of the right eye
increased in the case when target stimulus was at the same location than at the previous
realisation. It’s possible that N2 component is connected with processes of preliminary
extracting of motor program from memory together with attention processes. N2 amplitude was
higher when the distance between target and distracting stimuli was 15 degrees in comparison
with the minimal distance 5 degrees. It’s corresponded with LP data. The findings show an
active role of attention and decision-making processes in saccade programing.
