Topographic mapping of the brain activity of perceived motion

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...
