Research Article perceptual Scotomas A Functional Account of Motion-Induced BlindnessJoshua J. New and Brian J. SchollYale UniversityABSTRACT Inmotion-induced blindness(MIB), salient ob-jects in full view can repeatedly fluctuate into and out ofconscious awareness when superimposed onto certainglobal moving patterns. Here we suggest a new account ofthis striking phenomenon: Rather than being a failure ofvisual processing, MIB may be a functional product of thevisual system s attempt to separate distal stimuli from ar-tifacts of damage to the visual system itself. When a smallobject is invariant despite changes that are occurring to aglobal region of the surrounding visual field, the visualsystem may discount that stimulus as akin to a scotoma, andmay thus expunge it from awareness.
