N2  - To investigate the distraction of spatial attention to the task-irrelevant visual stimuli, contingent negative variation (CNV) was measured by using a forewarned reaction time task in 20 healthy subjects. The lasting emission of light, irrelevant to the CNV task, at each perimetric angle of 15 degrees, 30 degrees or 45 degrees to the fixated point was presented to the subjects. The amplitude of early CNV was small only under the light-emission at the angle of 30 degrees. Our results indicate that attention is distracted even by the lasting, task-irrelevant stimuli and that distraction is dependent on the focusing function of attention.
