Apparent motion perception in the visual cortex can interfere with detecting visual stimuli. Surprisingly, targets appearing in sync with motion were detected more often, suggesting predictive processing.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Perception
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Activity in the primary visual cortex accompanies apparent motion perception.
  • This neural activity is hypothesized to cause "motion masking," interfering with stimuli on the motion path.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how the trajectory of apparent motion affects perceptual interference (motion masking).
  • To determine if target detectability on an apparent motion trace varies with temporal presentation relative to the trajectory.

Main Methods:

  • A detection task was employed to assess the detectability of targets presented on an apparent motion trace.
  • Target presentation timing was varied in relation to the trajectory of a moving object token.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A general decrease in target detectability was observed when targets were presented on the apparent motion trace.
  • Targets presented "in time" with the trajectory were detected significantly more often than those presented "out of time."

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest that motion masking is not uniform along the apparent motion path.
  • Results support a model of spatio-temporally specific prediction of visual events during apparent motion perception.
