Topographic mapping of the brain activity of perceived motion.
The study compared electrical brain activity of 6 subjects in 5 different conditions. Absolute theta and alpha power in the frontal, parietal, and occipital areas were analyzed, with significant differences found only in the frontal area. Results suggested that the perception of movement requires higher order cognitive processing outside the occipital area. Implications for education and cognitive research are discussed.
