Topographic mapping of the brain activity of perceived motion
The study compared electrical brain activity of subjects in five different conditions: eyes-closed at rest, eyes-open at rest, looking at a flashing object, looking at apparent movement, and looking at real movement. Absolute theta and alpha power in the frontal and occipital areas were analyzed. Si...

| Summary: | The study compared electrical brain activity of subjects in five different conditions: eyes-closed at rest, eyes-open at rest, looking at a flashing object, looking at apparent movement, and looking at real movement. Absolute theta and alpha power in the frontal and occipital areas were analyzed. Significant differences were found in the frontal area. Results suggest that perceived movement requires higher order cognitive processes outside the occipital area. Implications for education and cognitive research are discussed. |
