Linking motion-induced blindness to perceptual filling-in
"Motion-induced blindness" and "perceptual filing-in" are two phenomena in which perceptually salient stimuli repeatedly disappear and reappear after prolonged viewing. Despite the many similarities between MIB and PFI, two differences suggest that they could be unrelated phenomena: (1) An area surrounded by background stimuli can be perceived to disappear completely in PFI but not in MIB and (...
متن کاملAttention induced motion blindness
Recent studies have shown evidence for modulation of cortical activity by attention in visual areas involved in motion processing. Behavioural effects of this modulation have only been reported for high-order, but not for luminance-based motion. We show that attentional load can even affect the perception of a first-order motion inducing a short-termed motion blindness. The detection of transie...
متن کاملMotion-Induced Blindness and Motion Streak Suppression
In motion-induced blindness (MIB), persistent static targets intermittently disappear when presented near moving elements [1, 2]. There is currently no consensus regarding the cause or causes of MIB [3-7]. Here, we link the phenomenon to a mechanism that is integral for normal human vision, motion streak suppression [8]. The human visual system integrates information over time [9], resulting in...
متن کاملA Functional Account of Motion-Induced Blindness
In motion-induced blindness (MIB), salient objects in full view can repeatedly fluctuate into and out of conscious awareness when superimposed onto certain global moving patterns. Here we suggest a new account of this striking phenomenon: Rather than being a failure of visual processing, MIB may be a functional product of the visual system’s attempt to separate distal stimuli from artifacts of ...
متن کاملPerceptual and physiological evidence for a role for early visual areas in motion-induced blindness.
Visual disappearance illusions, such as motion-induced blindness, are commonly used to study the neural correlates of visual perception. In such illusions a salient visual target becomes perceptually invisible. Previous studies are inconsistent regarding the role of early visual areas in these illusions. Here we provide physiological and psychophysical evidence suggesting a role for early visua...
