Patients with Parkinson׳s disease are less affected than healthy persons by relevant response-unrelated features in visual search

Patients with PD had diminished N2pc, lacked the frontal focus of d-P200, and their responses tended to be less affected than healthy participants' by signal position. Thus PD patients appeared less affected than healthy persons by stimuli with relevant features. This outcome is compatible with the notion that PD patients have poorer internal representations of what is relevant in a given task.
