When objects move or the eyes move, the visual system can predict the consequence and generate a percept of the target at its new position. This predictive localization may depend on eye movement control in the frontal eye fields (FEF) and the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and on motion analysis in the medial temporal area (MT). Across two experiments we examined whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over right FEF, right IPS, right MT, and a control site, peripheral V1/V2, diminished participants' perception of two cases of predictive position perception: trans-saccadic fusion, and the flash grab illusion, both presented in the contralateral visual field. In trans-saccadic fusion trials, participants saccade toward a stimulus that is replaced with another stimulus during the saccade. Frequently, predictive position mechanisms lead to a fused percept of pre- and post-saccade stimuli (Paeye et al., 2017). We found that rTMS to IPS significantly decreased the frequency of perceiving trans-saccadic fusion within the first 10min after stimulation. In the flash grab illusion, a target is flashed on a moving background leading to the percept that the target has shifted in the direction of the motion after the flash (Cavanagh and Anstis, 2013). In the first experiment, the reduction in the flash grab illusion after rTMS to IPS and FEF did not reach significance. In the second experiment, using a stronger version of the flash grab, the illusory shift did decrease significantly after rTMS to IPS although not after rTMS to FEF or to MT. These findings suggest that right IPS contributes to predictive position perception during saccades and motion processing in the contralateral visual field.
当物体移动或眼睛移动时,视觉系统可以预测结果,并在目标的新位置产生目标的感知。这种预测定位可能依赖于额眼区(FEF)和顶内沟(IPS)的眼球运动控制,以及内侧颞区(MT)的运动分析。通过两个实验,我们研究了重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)对右额眼区(FEF)、右顶内沟(IPS)、右 MT 以及对照区(外周 V1/V2)的影响,以确定其是否会降低参与者对两种预测位置感知的感知:眼跳融合和闪光抓取错觉,两者都在对侧视野中呈现。在眼跳融合试验中,参与者向一个刺激物进行眼跳,该刺激物在眼跳过程中被另一个刺激物取代。通常,预测位置机制会导致前眼跳和后眼跳刺激物的融合感知(Paeye 等人,2017)。我们发现,rTMS 刺激 IPS 后,在前 10 分钟内显著降低了感知眼跳融合的频率。在闪光抓取错觉中,一个目标在移动背景上闪光,导致在闪光后目标在运动方向上移动的感知(Cavanagh 和 Anstis,2013)。在第一个实验中,rTMS 刺激 IPS 和 FEF 后闪光抓取错觉的减少没有达到显著性。在第二个实验中,使用更强版本的闪光抓取错觉,rTMS 刺激 IPS 后错觉位移显著减小,而 rTMS 刺激 FEF 或 MT 后则没有。这些发现表明,右侧 IPS 有助于在眼跳和对侧视觉场的运动处理中进行预测位置感知。
