  Methods to Explore the Influence of Top-down Visual Processes on Motor Behavior Jillian Nguyen¹, Thomas V. Papathomas^2,3, Jay H. Ravaliya², Elizabeth B. Torres^{4,5 1}Graduate Program in Neuroscience, Rutgers University, ²Department of Biomedical Engineering, Rutgers University, ³Center for Cognitive Science, Rutgers University, ⁴Department of Psychology, Rutgers University, ⁵Department of Computer Science, Rutgers University It is unclear how top-down signals from the ventral visual stream affect movement. We developed a paradigm to test motor behavior towards a target on a 3D depth inversion illusion. Significant differences are reported in both deliberate, goal-directed movements and automatic actions under illusory and veridical viewing conditions.
