Two experiments used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
to examine the cortical areas involved in establishing an expectation
about the direction of motion of an upcoming object and applying that
expectation to the analysis of the object. In Experiment 1, subjects
saw a stationary cue that either indicated the direction of motion of a
subsequent test stimulus (directional cue) or provided no directional
information (neutral cue). Their task was to detect the presence of
coherent motion in the test stimulus. The stationary directional cue
produced larger modulations than the neutral cue, with respect to a
passive viewing baseline, both in motion-sensitive areas such as left
MT+ and the anterior intraparietal sulcus, as well as
motion-insensitive areas such as the posterior intraparietal sulcus and
the junction of the left medial precentral sulcus and superior frontal
sulcus. Experiment 2 used an event-related fMRI technique to separate
signals during the cue period, in which the expectation was encoded and
maintained, from signals during the subsequent test period, in which
the expectation was applied to the test object. Cue period activations
from a stationary, directional cue included many of the same
motion-sensitive and -insensitive areas from Experiment 1 that produced
directionally specific modulations. Prefrontal activations were not
observed during the cue period, even though the stationary cue
information had to be translated into a format appropriate for
influencing motion detection, and this format was maintained for the
duration of the cue period (~5 sec).
