面孔加工中基于稳态视觉诱发电位的Oddball快速周期视觉刺激范式：方法与应用
SSVEP-Based Oddball Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation Paradigm in Face Processing: Methods and Applications
摘要: 面孔感知在人类社交互动中发挥着重要作用。近年来，基于稳态视觉诱发电位(Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential, SSVEP)的oddball快速周期视觉刺激(Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation, FPVS)范式，因其高信噪比、客观性和高效性，已成为重要的电生理工具，为深入探究大脑对面孔多种维度信息的加工提供了新途径。本文系统综述了该范式的方法与刺激参数的设置，并总结了其在面孔加工研究中的应用。频率标记技术不仅能够捕捉面孔加工中快速、自动化的过程，还能够揭示不同维度信息之间的整合机制。未来研究可进一步利用该方法探究面孔各维度属性加工的内隐加工机制与更高层次的整合加工机制，以深化对面孔认知加工机制的理解。
Abstract: Face perception plays a critical role in human social interaction. In recent years, the oddball Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS) paradigm based on Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) has emerged as an important electrophysiological tool due to its high signal-to-noise ratio, objectivity, and efficiency, providing a novel approach for investigating how the brain processes multiple dimensions of facial information. This article systematically reviews the methodological framework and stimulus parameter settings of the oddball-FPVS paradigm and summarizes its applications in face perception research. Frequency-tagging techniques not only enable the capture of rapid and automatic processes involved in face processing, but also allow for the investigation of integrative mechanisms across different facial dimensions. Future studies may further employ this approach to explore the implicit processing of facial attributes and higher-level integrative mechanisms, thereby deepening our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying face cognition.
