Human Vision: Predicting the present? Suppressing the past?

在处理移动物体时，人脑如何应对在接触描述物理事件的视网膜图像和随后的皮质活动之间的滞后？显然，运动规划发挥了作用，人们在拦截移动物体时会到达预测的位置，但感知对信息延迟的补偿是什么？这个项目将探索移动物体被错误定位并看起来变形的情况，以确定这些情况是否表明感知有助于弥补信息滞后。项目结果将具有重大的理论意义，涉及到知觉和有意识的视觉意识的性质。

When dealing with moving objects, how does the human brain cope with lags between exposure to retinal images depicting physical events and consequent activity in cortex? Obviously motor planning plays a role, with people reaching toward predicted locations when intercepting moving objects, but what, if any, compensation for informational delays is provided by perception? This project will explore situations wherein moving objects are erroneously localised and seem deformed, in order to determine if these are indicative of perception helping to compensate for informational lags. Project results will have substantial theoretical significance, pertaining to the nature of perception and conscious visual awareness.
