The brainwave response of optical illusion stimulus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several centuries ago the overarching obstacle in the evolution of vision was documented when George Berkeley pointed out that information in retinal images cannot be mapped unambiguously back onto their real-world sources. In this experiment, we used the EEG to analyze the brainwave dates of 2 stimuli, one can cause human optical illusion, but the other cannot. The purpose of this work was to find out the locations and mechanisms of brainwave when the human beings watch the 2D images under the optical illusion stimulus. The results showed that the responds of the optical illusion have different response time and voltage with the different coarseness at the visual area. Recognition potential (RP.) occurs in about 250ms.

Perception of self-motion from peripheral optokinetic stimulation suppresses visual evoked responses to central stimuli.
In a previous functional neuroimaging study we found that early visual areas deactivated when a rotating optical flow stimulus elicited the illusion of self-motion (vection) compared with when it was perceived as a moving object. Here, we investigated whether electrical cortical responses to an independent central visual probe stimulus change as a function of whether optical flow stimulation in...
متن کاملQuantifying the Ebbinghaus figure effect: target size, context size, and target-context distance determine the presence and direction of the illusion
Over the last 20 years, visual illusions, like the Ebbinghaus figure, have become widespread to investigate functional segregation of the visual system. This segregation reveals itself, so it is claimed, in the insensitivity of movement to optical illusions. This claim, however, faces contradictory results (and interpretations) in the literature. These contradictions may be due to methodologica...
متن کاملOptical imaging of a tactile illusion in area 3b of the primary somatosensory cortex.
In the tactile funneling illusion, the simultaneous presentation of brief stimuli at multiple points on the skin produces a single focal sensation at the center of the stimulus pattern even when no physical stimulus occurs at that site. Consistent with the funneling percept, we show with optical imaging in area 3b of the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) that simultaneous stimulation of two fin...
متن کاملAn illusion of coherent global motion arising from single brief presentations of a stationary stimulus
We describe a new illusion in which a single stationary stimulus appears to undergo coherent global motion. Contrast relationships between the stimulus elements suggest the illusion arises via processing of Off- and On-channel signals that remain independent until after passing through low-level motion detectors. We propose that patterns of activation resulting from biphasic temporal impulse re...
متن کاملFORMALIN AS A PERIPHERAL NOXIOUS STIMULUS CAUSES A BIPHASIC RESPONSE IN NUCLEUS PARAGIGANTOCELLULARIS NEURONS
The effects of formalin as a peripheral noxious stimulus on the activity of lateral paragigantocellularis nucleus (LPGi) neurons were examined. Spontaneous activity ofLPGi neurons was recorded after confirmation of their responsiveness to acute pain, and thereafter formalin (50 µL, 2.5%) was injected in the contralateral hindpaw. The response of the LPGi neurons was monitored for 60 min. A...
