Abstract(in English) When visual patterns drifting in different directions and/or at different speeds are superimposed on the same plane, observers perceive transparent surfaces on different depth planes. This phenomenon is known as transparent motion perception. In this study, brain activities during subjects performing transparent motion perception task were measured and analyzed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). In the analyses, an integrative fMRI-MEG method was applied. Dynamic recurrent neural activities in the visual dorsal pathway including IPS were observed, suggesting that these cortical areas play an important role for structural information processing of transparent motion perception.
