This study investigated the effect of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the neural mechanism of visual perception. A preliminary case-control study was conducted. Seventeen patients with moderate to severe OSA in the sleep center of Civil Aviation General Hospital and 20 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and education were recruited. The participants accepted the perceptual contour integration task, compared the differences in behavioral indicators between the two groups, and compared the differences in electroencephalography (EEG) data between the two groups through event-related potential (ERP) technology. The groups did not differ significantly in age and gender, but they differed significantly in body mass index (BMI) (OSA higher than healthy controls,
