Extrastriate visual areas on the banks of the middle suprasylvian sulcus were inactivated by cooling to assess the behavioral contribution of this cortical region to the extraction of a stationary figure from a moving mask. Cooling blocked figure-ground separation when the mask was moving but had no influence when the mask was static. This difference provides strong evidence that the areas bounding the middle suprasylvian sulcus contribute to the neural separation of stationary from moving visual stimuli.
通过冷却使大脑中颞上沟两岸的纹外视觉区域失活，以评估该皮质区域对从移动掩蔽物中提取静止图形的行为贡献。当掩蔽物移动时，冷却会阻碍图形-背景分离，但当掩蔽物静止时则没有影响。这种差异提供了强有力的证据，表明界定颞上沟的区域有助于静止视觉刺激与移动视觉刺激的神经分离。
