Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The visual system is unable to process whole information projected to the eyes. Voluntary movements give crucial cues to infer what will happen in the near future. This study investigated whether voluntary movements affected visual processing. Specifically, the study examined the effects of voluntary head movements on current perception biased by the stimulus presented in the recent past.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
頭部位置が神経細胞の活動を変調し、視覚刺激の検出感度が上昇することが知られている。本研究では、現在の知覚と過去の情報の統合という複雑な過程に対する頭部運動の影響を調べた。それに加えて、刺激呈示の座標系を考慮し、どのような情報が時間的に統合されるのかを調査した。これにより、時空間的な情報の統合過程のメカニズムを検討した。
