Q

do all these different motion phenomena have a different underlying mechanism?

A

we don’t really know
but there is some evidence that indicate the type of motion doesn’t play a role of how the brain perceives motion (fMRI-functional magnetic resonance imaging)
-measure oxygen: brain must be metabolically active

Q

do stationary stimulus, real motion, and apparent motion appear to be in the same part of the brain?

A

stationary diff from real/apparent

25
Q

what are the 3 situations of motion perceptions with examples of Dr. P

A
  1. look straight ahead while Dr. P crosses the room
    - figure moves across the retinal activating diff photoreceptors on each position
  2. look at Dr. P as he crosses the room
    - figure always projected on the fovea, the figure doesn’t activate diff photoreceptors but you still perceive motion
  3. look at screen by moving your fixation left to right
    - see stationary screen even though it is moving across your retina and activating diff photorecptors each time. no motion perception
26
Q

what are the 3 situations in motion perception

A
  1. look straight as object moves: object moves, eyes stationary, img on retina moves, motion perceived
  2. fixate on moving object: object moves, eyes move, img on retina is stationary, motion perceived
  3. look around screen: object stationary, eyes move, img on retina moves, NO motion perception
27
Q

what are the diff appracohes on explaning motion

A
  1. info in the environment
    - what’s hpapneing in environ
  2. info on the retina/brain
    - what’s happneing on the retina/neurons in the visual pathway
28
Q

for information in the environment what does it take into account and not take into account? also known as?

A

ecological approach

doesnt care what is happening in the retina/visual system, only cares about what is happening in the environment

29
Q

if you consider the downtown scene, many objects are in this scene, what does the ecological approach says this creates

A

an optic array

30
Q

what happens in the optic array with situation 1 (look straight ahead as object moves but eyes are stationary while image on the retina moves and there is motion perception) in the ecological approach

A

something moving in that array relative to that environment which create local disturbances to the optical array

  • the local disturbances are responsible for perceiving motion
  • while Dr. P moves he makes local disturbance covering/uncovering diff parts of the stationary background
31
Q

in situation 2 (fixate on moving object, object moves, eyes move, img retina stationary, motion perception) what happens to the optic array in the ecological approach

A

follow the moving object with your fixation but there is still disturbances happening to the optical array.
-background isnt moving so local disturbance are still produced=>enough to produce perception of motion

32
Q

what happens in the optic array is sit 3? (look around the screen, object stationary, eyes move, img on retina moves, no motion perception)

A

whole enviroment moves as you move your eyes

  • everything moves in response to your eye movements
  • creates global optic flow => brain understands this so you do not appreciate motion=> everything moves at the same time
33
Q

what is global optic flow

A

the fact that everything moves at the same time in response to your eye movement

  • signals on the brain that the environemnt is stationary
  • as you move across the room everything moves past you but you perceieve it as stationary bc of this
34
Q

according to the ecological approach, if the whole scene is moving, what happens

A

there is global optic flow that signals that the environemnt is stationary

35
Q

what are the 2 approaches on explaining motion based on neural processing

A
  1. reichardt detector

2. corollary discharge theory

36
Q

what is the reichardt detector

A

a neural circuit that was proposed by wener reichardt to explain motion
-propsed that there are neurons that respond to motion in one direction and not to the other

37
Q

the reichardt model can epxlain what? what does it fail to expalin

A

can explain first order motion (sit 1) but fails to explain more complicated phenomena (ex. why the room doesn’t seem to move when you move your eyes)

38
Q

do we sense left to right motion or right to left motion

A

left to right motion
will actually have 2x the signal to the ganglion cell
-no inhibition of the bipolar cell
photorecptor=> bipolar cell=> ganlgion cell

39
Q

to explain situations 2 and 3 of info on the retina/brain we need to not only take into account how the objects sweep across the neurons on the retina, but also…

what theory can do this?

A

the motion of the eyeball itself

corollary discharge theory

40
Q

what are the different kinds of signals that are generated according to the corollary discharge theory

A
  1. the img displacement signal (IDS)
  2. the motor signal (MS)
  3. the corollary discharge signal (CDS)
41
Q

what signal occurs when an object moves across the retina (situation 1)

A

the image displacement signal (IDS)

-retinal signal to the brain

42
Q

what signal occurs when the brain sends a signal to the eye muscles so as to follow a moving object (sit 2)

A

motor signal

-signal from brain to eye

43
Q

what signal occurs from the brain to the eye muscles, as well as another area on the brain for further processing

A

corollary discharge signal

-does not end up in the eye

44
Q

the brain generates a signal that is sent to waht 2 places

A

eye muscles to move the eys and another location somewhere on the brain for further processing

45
Q

what are the 2 signals that are transmitted to the brain

A

the image displacement signal and the corollary discharge signal

46
Q

in situation 1 (object moves) what signal is sent to the brain
in situation 2 what signal is sent to the brain (obj followed)

A

1: IDS
2: CDS

47
Q

if both the image displacement signal and corollary discharge singnal end up on the brain at the same time, what does our visual system do

A

assumes there is no motion

-this is what explains sit 3

48
Q

the corollary discharge theory makes use of a mechanism or brain structure that is able to compare the signals, what is this called

A

comparator

49
Q

how can the comparator be used

A

IDS => comparator => motion
CDS=> comparator => motion
IDS+CDS => comparator => no motion

50
Q

where is the comparator

A

might not be a specific location somewhere in the brain but might be mulitple locations that act together
might also be a mechanism that processes signals w/o a specific structure

51
Q

what is the importatn idea of the corollary discharge theory

A

that we need to take into account both the displacement of an object on the retina and the eye movements in order to explain all possible situation 1,2,3

52
Q

what is the perception of no motion in sit 3

A

saccadic suppression

53
Q

is the perception of body motion a special case?

A

probably

54
Q

what is apparent motion

A

when 2 stimuli that are in slightly diff locations are presented sequentially
-depending on the rate of presenatino you might perceive motion (apparent)

55
Q

the path of motion is usually the shortest possible and this is called the..

A

shortest path constraint

56
Q

right before, during and shortly after a saccade, there is no signal leaving the retina and going to the brain (suppressing the img). our visual system can suppress a retinal image during saccadic movement, if not we how would we see an object

A

blurred/smeared

57
Q

how soon can saccadic suppression start as soon as

A

as soon as 75 ms before realization of the saccade
-suggesting again that a central brain mechanism is involved in shutting down the sensory input right before, during and after and shortly after.

58
Q

what are the 2 things that were learned from the fist experiemetn

A
  1. the visual system needs time to process mtion of complex stimuli (expected)
  2. there is osmething special when it comes to body motion
59
Q

when the slow alternation condition occurred, a different part of the brain was activated, what was it

A

motor cortex
the brain area that deal w/ body coordiation (limb moveemnt etc)
-motor cortex judged that a motion around the head is possible (bc of the slow rate) and therefore the shortest path constraint violated
