It wasn't so much going to be my band anymore it was more like this thing we were going to make together. At that point, I also realised what it was becoming. “Tyson was so good on the mic,” says Carter. Steriogram’s tongue-in-cheek approach led some to question just how far they’d go.Īnother friend the group met through church, Jared Wrennall, would soon take Kennedy’s place on drums after he moved to vocals full-time alongside Carter. With a video for the track shot by Adam Jones – and featuring Westie icon Ewan Gilmour, who agreed to do the shoot for a box of beer – the band was suddenly on the radar. The song saw Kennedy exchange his drumsticks for a microphone, laying raps over the top of Carter’s vocals and landing on the punky pop-rap sound that would go on to define their career. That all changed in 2001 after Carter wrote the guitar riff to a soon-to-be bogan anthem called ‘White Trash’. Steriogram was still a work in progress and the group’s 1999 debut EP Soccerstar wouldn’t do much to move the needle. “It was a good omen,” says Carter, “that something was going to happen.” It was their first-ever rehearsal and they already had an offer from a label. They soon got a phone call from someone at Parachute Records wanting to talk to them about a record deal. With the photo shoot out of the way, the band members sent in their application and headed to their first rehearsal together. He wound up sticking around and joining the band as a permanent member. Carter’s solution was to ask Jake Adams, an old friend in Whangarei, to come to Auckland just to be in the photo shoot. But to get on the bill they needed a band photo for their application and they didn’t even have a bass player. Despite not even having rehearsed together, the three of them made plans to play Parachute, a local Christian music festival. We hypothesize that the decreased beta oscillations are related to either visual discomfort and visual attention to our stimulus, and that the increased alpha oscillations in the anticorrelated condition is a response to the incorrect depth information created by the stereogram.ĮEG ITC anticorrelated coherency disparity frequency tagging stereogram.They took the band seriously from the get-go. We experimentally verified the presence of a neural mechanism triggered by anticorrelated random-dot stereograms in the human brain with our coherency analysis and that it would not have been detected with the conventional spectral analysis due to the weakness of the response. While both conditions created a diminishment of spectral power in the beta band, we found that the anticorrelated condition created increased spectral power in the alpha band. Our analysis found that the correlated stereograms elicited a strong coherency at the even harmonics of the depth alternation, and the anticorrelated stimulus created lower coherency peaks at the first harmonic of the depth alternation, even when participants did not report the depth movement to be visible. We recorded the electrical response of the resulting brain oscillations of our four participants using EEG in both the correlated and anticorrelated conditions and whether they perceived depth movement. In this study, we employed a phase-consistent, temporally modulated alternating depth stereogram stimulus, where we created anticorrelation by inverting the contrast between the eyes. In humans, the presence of a neural mechanism triggered by anticorrelated random-dot stereograms have been theorized based on animal models from invasive studies, but have not been experimentally verified with the use of electroencephalography.
