Neural responses to apparent motion can be predicted by responses to non-moving stimuli.

ABSTRACT: When two objects are presented in alternation at two locations, they are seen as a single object moving from one location to the other. This apparent motion (AM) percept is experienced for objects located at short and also at long distances. However, current models cannot explain how the brain integrates information over large distances to create such long-range AM. This study investigates the neural markers of AM by parcelling out the contribution of spatial and temporal interactions not specific to motion. In two experiments, participants' EEG was recorded while they viewed two stimuli inducing AM. Different combinations of these stimuli were also shown in a static context to predict an AM neural response where no motion is perceived. We compared the goodness of fit between these differe
