Motion-induced blindness and microsaccades: cause and effect.
It has been suggested that subjective disappearance of visual stimuli results from a spontaneous reduction of microsaccade rate causing image stabilization, enhanced adaptation, and a consequent fading. In motion-induced blindness (MIB), salient visual targets disappear intermittently when surrounded by a moving pattern. We investigated whether changes in microsaccade rate can account for MIB. ...
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 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 کاملAdaptation and prolonged inhibition as a main cause of motion-induced blindness.
Motion-induced blindness (MIB) is one of the most enigmatic perceptual disappearance phenomena. Here we suggest that MIB may be caused by the combined effects of two distinct adaptation processes: one shared with two other non-MIB configurations and entailing a response-gain reduction, and a second, MIB-specific transient-to-sustained incremental inhibition causing a contrast-gain reduction. Re...
متن کاملMotion-Induced Blindness and Troxler Fading: Common and Different Mechanisms
Extended stabilization of gaze leads to disappearance of dim visual targets presented peripherally. This phenomenon, known as Troxler fading, is thought to result from neuronal adaptation. Intense targets also disappear intermittently when surrounded by a moving pattern (the "mask"), a phenomenon known as motion-induced blindness (MIB). The similar phenomenology and dynamics of these disappeara...
