Visual information processing of 2D, virtual 3D and real-world objects marked by theta band responses: Visuospatial processing and cognitive load as a function of modality.

ABSTRACT: While pictures share global similarities with the real-world objects they depict, the latter have unique characteristics going beyond 2D representations. Due to its three-dimensional presentation mode, Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly used to further approach real-world visual processing, yet it remains unresolved to what extent VR yields process comparable to real-world processes. Consequently, our study examined visuospatial processing by a triangular comparison of 2D objects, virtual 3D objects and real 3D objects. The theta band response (TBR) was analysed as an electrophysiological correlate of visual processing, allowing for the differentiation of predominantly stimulus-driven processes mirrored in the evoked response and internal, complex processing reflected in the induced resp
