No Evidence That Resting-State Individual Alpha Frequency Represents a Mechanism Underlying Motion-Position Illusions.

ABSTRACT: Motion-position illusions (MPIs) involve the position of an object being misperceived in the context of motion (i.e., when the object contains motion, is surrounded by motion or is moving). A popular MPI is the flash-lag effect, where a static object briefly presented in spatiotemporal alignment with a moving object is perceived in a position behind the moving object. Recently, prior research has documented that there are stable individual differences in the magnitude of these illusions and possibly even their direction. To investigate the possible neural correlates of these individual differences, the present study explored whether a trait-like component of brain activity, individual alpha frequency (IAF), could predict individual illusion magnitude. Previous reports have found some corre
