From Vision to Movement
... A simple way to dissociate vision from action in time is to require a delay (usually in the order of a second for neurophysiology which records neurons in real time, in the order of about 10 seconds in fMRI which measures much slower responses). We visited this ‘memory delay’ paradigm before when we ...
