| Abstract | Electrical potentials evoked in the human brain by visual stimulation can easily be recorded by using electrodes attached to the scalp. It is difficult, however, to relate these visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to specific neural processes: scalp electrodes, far removed from the brain, sum potentials from large areas of cortex. We improved identification and localization of lateral interactions by differentially modulating small neighboring parts of a 'windmill-dartboard' stimulus pattern-a central disc surrounded by three contiguous annuli, all radially divided into light and dark segments. With temporal contrast reversal of all segments in the pattern, the major component of the VEP is at the second harmonic of the frequency of modulation--as expected. Temporal contrast reversal of the segments in the central disc and second annulus, with contrast of segments held constant in the first and third annuli, unexpectedly amplifies the VEP at the fundamental frequency of modulation and attenuates it at the second harmonic. Slight spatial separation of static and dynamic zones reduces both the amplification of the fundamental and the attenuation of the second harmonic. Thus, both phenomena appear to result from strong lateral interactions over relatively short distances. Nevertheless, different neural mechanisms must be involved; fundamental and second-harmonic components of the VEP are different functions of spatial separation and relative contrast of the segments in contiguous static and dynamic zones. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
