title: The event-related potential elicited by taste-visual cross-modal interference.
abstract: Sixteen healthy subjects took part in this event-related potentials (ERPs) study aimed at investigating the neural response of the taste-visual cross-modal pairing. An interference effect was observed at the behavioral level: the mismatched condition was performed more slowly than the matched condition. ERP analyses revealed a more negative component between 400 and 600 ms in the mismatched condition than in the matched condition. Dipole source analysis of the difference wave (mismatched minus matched) indicated that two generators localized in prefrontal cortex (PFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) contributed to this cross-modal interference effect. These results provided the electrophysiological evidence of interference during the extraction of taste information from memory and conflict control during the incongruent taste-visual information processing.
