Figure 1. EEG correlates of the wagon wheel illusion (WWI).

Figure 1

a) Observers were asked to report the perceived direction of a continuous rotating wheel moving at different rates. b) 32-channel EEG recordings were made and the power spectra between the illusory and real motion were compared. A significant difference was found only at 13 Hz over right parietal electrode, independently of the rate of stimulus rotation. The difference must depend on internal processing mechanisms as the stimulus on the retina is the same during both real and illusory motion. (Reproduced with permission from [31]).
