Startreact Effect

AbstractLoud acoustic stimuli (LAS) can trigger prepared motor responses at very short latencies: the StartReact effect. In this study, we tested the proposal that responses to LAS in the StartReact effect could be explained by stimulus intensity effects combined with movement-related preparation changes on nervous system excitability. Using a simple auditory reaction time task, we induced different levels of preparation by systematically manipulating the conditional probability and temporal location of the auditory stimulus (LAS or non-intense tone). We then examined how preparation-levels influenced motor responses to LAS and non-intense tones, as well as cortical and sub-cortical excitability — reflected by electroencephalographic (EEG) activity before the onset of the auditory stimulus, and the eye-blink startle reflex.On both tone and LAS trials, higher preparation conditions were accompanied with reductions in movement onset time, increased force, as well as enhanced cortical (in auditory and motor areas) and sub-cortical excitability. At the trial-level, we found that enhanced pre-stimulus EEG activity in sensory and motor areas was associated with earlier movement onset on tone trials, and shorter blink onset latencies were associated with earlier movement onset on LAS trials. The results show that movement preparation is associated with wide-spread changes in cortical and sub-cortical excitability, and that movement preparation (combined with stimulus-intensity effects) plays a critical role in shaping responses to both non-intense tones and LAS.

Perceptual Threshold

Multisensory stimuli can improve performance, facilitating RTs on sensorimotor tasks. This benefit is referred to as the redundant signals effect (RSE) and can exceed predictions on the basis of probability summation, indicative of integrative processes. Although an RSE exceeding probability summation has been repeatedly observed in humans and nonprimate animals, there are scant and inconsistent data from nonhuman primates performing similar protocols. Rather, existing paradigms have instead focused on saccadic eye movements. Moreover, the extant results in monkeys leave unresolved how stimulus synchronicity and intensity impact performance. Two trained monkeys performed a simple detection task involving arm movements to auditory, visual, or synchronous auditory–visual multisensory pairs. RSEs in excess of predictions on the basis of probability summation were observed and thus forcibly follow from neural response interactions. Parametric variation of auditory stimulus intensity revealed that in both animals, RT facilitation was limited to situations where the auditory stimulus intensity was below or up to 20 dB above perceptual threshold, despite the visual stimulus always being suprathreshold. No RT facilitation or even behavioral costs were obtained with auditory intensities 30–40 dB above threshold. The present study demonstrates the feasibility and the suitability of behaving monkeys for investigating links between psychophysical and neurophysiologic instantiations of multisensory interactions.
