    During pursuit eye movements, visual perception of motion aligns with retinal image trajectory, not physical movement. Task demands influence whether perception matches physical motion or retinal flow.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Visual Perception
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Understanding visual perception during eye movements is crucial for diagnosing and treating visual disorders.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated how the brain integrates visual motion cues with eye movement signals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how visual perception of stimulus motion is affected by concurrent horizontal pursuit eye movements.
    • To determine whether perception aligns with the retinal image trajectory or the physical trajectory of the stimulus.
    • To examine the influence of different visual tasks and backgrounds on motion perception during eye tracking.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects performed horizontal pursuit eye movements while viewing a visual stimulus.
    • Stimulus motion direction was reported under conditions of total darkness and illuminated backgrounds.

  • In a second experiment, subjects localized stimulus motion endpoints on an illuminated background.

    • Main Results:

    • In both darkness and on illuminated backgrounds, perceived motion direction corresponded to the retinal image trajectory.
    • When localizing stimulus endpoints on an illuminated background, perception matched the physical trajectory of the stimulus.
    • The visual task significantly influenced the perceived trajectory of the moving stimulus during eye tracking.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual perception of motion during pursuit eye movements is primarily driven by the retinal image flow.
    • Task demands, such as localization, can override retinal image dominance, leading to perception of physical motion.
    • These findings highlight the dynamic interplay between eye movements, visual input, and cognitive tasks in shaping motion perception.
