<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>The frequency of physical stimulation is 5 Hz (i.e. the fundamental frequency). That is the full cycle of the square wave within any individual pixel on the display. There will also be EEG responses at twice the fundamental frequency (i.e. 10 Hz) as you point out. A Fourier transform of the square wave input will display peaks at additional frequencies (i.e. 15 Hz, 20 Hz, and so on, although they will attenuate with higher frequencies), thus it is expected that the brain might generate responses within those frequencies as well, although they will be pretty small. I would expect that your display will generate the largest response at 10 Hz. <br><br></div>In some initial piloting I found larger responses to twice the fundamental frequency (i.e. F2) of a contrast flicker compared to the fundamental frequency of a luminance flicker. In addition, the F2 response to a contrast flicker appears to show the greatest sensitivity to attention, in particular when it fell between 8 and 12 Hz. Thus, I focused on these responses in my attention studies: <br><br>Bridwell, D.A., Srinivasan, R. (2012) <i>Distinct attention networks for feature enhancement
