ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the phantom stripes of light and dark faintly crossing the gap but they were quite dim and always untextured. In Japan, Akiyoshi Kitaoka, Jiro Gyoba, Hideaki Kawabata, and Kenzo Sakurai explored many versions of static gratings that produced phantoms but without any texture completion. Ming Meng, D. A. Remus, and F. Tong were able to get phantom contours to cross a gap in the middle of a drifting sinewave grating and they could decode the presence of the induced activation in the cortical areas that respond to the gap where there was no physical stimulus. Naomi Weisstein and her colleagues and R. Sekuler published other papers on this moving phantom grating effect but there were no further tests of the texture completion with moving gratings. Naomi made the completion do work, by showing a motion aftereffect in the physically unstimulated central portion.
