Sensorimotor Adaptation to Violations of Temporal Contiguity
通过延迟视觉反馈,发现人类能够适应新的跨感官时间关系,这为神经处理速度变化下的同步机制提供了行为证据。
Most events are processed by a number of neural pathways.These pathways often differ considerably in processing speed.Thus, coherent perception requires some form of synchronization mechanism.Moreover, this mechanism must be flexible, since neural processing speed changes over the life of an organism.Here we provide behavioral evidence that humans can adapt to a new intersensory temporal relationship (which was artificially produced by delaying visual feedback).The conflict between these results and previous work that failed to find such improvements can be explained by considering the present results as a form of sensorimotor adaption.
