To investigate the detail response properties for the incoherent motion of the human visual system, we measured the magnetoencephalographic neural responses to both coherent and incoherent motions at various speeds (from 0.65 to 20.6 degrees /s). The peak latency of the first component of the response from the extrastriate area was inversely related to the speed of motion (from 228 to 155 ms in mean) and there was no significant difference in the latency change between the two types of motion. There were significant differences in the peak amplitude change with the motion speed and a difference in the distribution of the magnetic fields of the responses was seen in six of the seven subjects. The results show that the speed of the incoherently moving dots is represented in the human visual system in the same manner as that of coherently moving dots. The differences in the magnetic fields between the two responses indicate that the same speed-related response changes can occur with different neural populations responsible for both motions.
为了研究人类视觉系统对非相干运动的详细反应特性,我们测量了在各种速度(从0.65到20.6度/秒)下,对相干和非相干运动的脑磁图神经反应。来自纹外区域的反应的第一个成分的峰值潜伏期与运动速度呈负相关(平均从228到155毫秒),并且两种运动类型之间的潜伏期变化没有显著差异。峰值幅度随运动速度的变化存在显著差异,并且在七名受试者中的六名中观察到反应磁场分布的差异。结果表明,非相干移动点的速度在人类视觉系统中的表示方式与相干移动点相同。两种反应之间磁场的差异表明,负责这两种运动的不同神经群体可以发生相同的与速度相关的反应变化。
