Attentive Motion Discrimination Recruits an Area in Inferotemporal Cortex
Supplemental Videos for "Attentive Motion Discrimination Recruits an Area in Inferotemporal Cortex" by Stemmann and colleagues, 2015
This movie illustrates the spatial layout and the temporal sequence of a trial of the attentive motion-discrimination paradigm. Stimulus events are slowed down for clarity. The basic layout consists of the central fixation point (FP), which has to be foveated throughout the trial, with the bar cue (to the left) indicating which of the two random dot surfaces, one to the left, the other to the right of the FP, is to be attended. Eight peripheral saccade targets are positioned at equidistant positions from the FP. The random dot surfaces undergo random changes in motion transition, which are interrupted by a prolonged motion events (PMEs). In the example the distracter PME on the right occurs prior to the target PME. Since the target’s PME direction is towards the upper right, a saccade to that location needs to be made for successful completion of the trial.
