We investigated the effects of brain states on human perception and early visual response comparing focused wakefulness (ON state) to external inattention (OFF state). In two experiments, we investigated the temporal kinetics of brain states changes during stimulus processing and assessed fluctuations across extended periods of time. We used a classifier to distinguish between these states on a single trial level using theta activity in MEG sensors. We found that participants shifted from an ON to an OFF state as rapidly as two seconds. Visual target discrimination was comparable in both states, but reaction times were slower and more variable during the OFF state. Broad band high-frequency activity (BHA) recorded in MEG sensors covering the occipital cortex tracked target grating orientation. BHA was reduced during the OFF state but participants were still able to distinguish sensory information highlighting the role of BHA in visual perception across cognitive brain states.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
