Abstract: The aim of the investigation was to study the features of brain activity when comparing visual stimuli under conditions of delayed motor response. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were studied in 84 healthy subjects in a three-stimulus test, the first two stimuli were a comparison pair, and the third stimulus triggered a motor response. After presentation of the second stimulus ERPs were recorded: a complex of two waves with occipital (Oz, most pronounced in the interval 100–150 ms) and posterior temporal localization (P 7, P 8, 190–270 ms); negative wave in the frontal regions (Fz, 240–300 ms) and positive wave in the parietal regions (Pz, 270–450 ms). Brain responses differ in amplitude in case of a match and discrepancy of visual stimuli. The article discusses the physiological meaning of these waves and their differences under two conditions. © 2023, Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
