Does the brain treat continuity cuts as a common event, and do cut types differ?
An open-access EEG study (21 viewers) reports neural responses common to continuity cuts (theta synchronisation, delta desynchronisation) interpreted as encoding and segmentation; differences by cut type appeared under one taxonomy but not another, where results matched random groupings. Only continuity cuts were tested, so it says nothing about jump cuts or axis breaks.
