Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded in subjects while they were matching two sequentially presented color spots. The two spots might be presented in the same position of the same color, or different colors (color conflict). They might be in different positions of the same color (position conflict), or different colors (color and position conjunction conflicts). Subjects matched the stimuli in three different sessions according to different attention tasks: attending to color, attending to position, or attending to both color and position. A negative one-peak brain potential, N270, was elicited in all the conflict conditions with amplitude enhanced in the task-relevant conflict. Two negative effects, N270 and N400, were recorded when attending to the conjunction conflicts concurrently. Visual spatial information is processed through the dorsal stream, while the feature information is processed through the ventral stream in the brain. The results suggest that all kinds of conflicts might be processed in a common system above the level of the two streams, which processes the conjunction conflict information from ventral and dorsal stream in series.
