Oculoparalytic illusion: visual-field dependent spatial mislocalizations by humans partially paralyzed with curare.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In darkness, observers partially paralyzed with curare make large (greater thn 20 degrees) gaze- and dosage-dependent errors in visually localizing eye-level-horizontal and median planes, in matching the location of a sound to a light, and in pointing at a light. In illuminated, structured visual localization and pointing are accurate but errors in auditory-to-visual matches remain. Defects in extraretinal eye position information are responsible for all errors. The influence of extraretinal eye position information on visual localization is suppressed by a structured visual field but is crucial both in darkness and for intersensory localization if visual capture is prevented.

متن کاملInfluence of spontaneous activity and visual experience on developing retinal receptive fields
BACKGROUND The role played by early neural activity in shaping retinal functions has not yet been established. In the developing vertebrate retina, ganglion cells fire spontaneous bursts of action potentials before the onset of visual experience. This spontaneous bursting disappears shortly after birth or eye opening. In the present study, we have investigated whether the outgrowth of receptive...
متن کاملVisual sensitivity is a stronger determinant of illusory processes than auditory cue parameters in the sound-induced flash illusion.
The sound-induced flash illusion (SIFI) is a multisensory perceptual phenomenon in which the number of brief visual stimuli perceived by an observer is influenced by the number of concurrently presented sounds. While the strength of this illusion has been shown to be modulated by the temporal congruence of the stimuli from each modality, there is conflicting evidence regarding its dependence up...
متن کاملIncreased attentional load moves the left to the right.
INTRODUCTION Unilateral brain damage can heterogeneously alter spatial processing. Very often brain-lesioned patients fail to report (neglect) items appearing within the contralesional space. Much less often patients mislocalize items' spatial position. We investigated whether a top-down attentional load manipulation (dual-tasking), known to result in contralesional omissions even in apparently...
متن کاملAn effect of early monocular lid suture upon the development of X-cells in the cat's lateral geniculate nucleus.
Following neonate monocular lid-suture, the proportion of Y-celts encountered with microelectrodes in the cat's lateral geniculate nucleus is abnormally lowg. However, to our knowledge, no physiological effects of lid-suture have yet been described for X-cells. Indeed, across a variety of tests, including visual and electrical stimulation, there seemed to be no discernible effect of deprivation...
