Temporal characteristics of neuronal sources for implied motion perception (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lorteije, J., & Jellema, T. Temporal characteristics of neuronal sources for implied motion perception

Viewing photographs of objects in motion evokes higher fMRI activation in human MT+ than similar photographs without this implied motion. MT+ is traditionally considered to be involved in motion perception. Therefore, this finding suggests feedback f...
