We have demonstrated the presence of an illusion of leftward movement, even in the presence of bilateral symmetrical cues. We have classified this phenomenon as one of pseudo-extinction. The paradigm of the four experiments performed was always the same: a white line, briefly presented alone or preceded by one or two lateral cues (150 ms), was judged by a group of young participants to be moving either to one side or the other. The asymmetrical effect in the bilateral cue condition was observed with horizontal lines (Experiment 1 and 4), and not with vertical or oblique (Experiment 2 and 3). These results suggest that the effect is linked to the asymmetry of the horizontal spatial planum and the mechanisms of spatial attention. Experiment 4 verified whether the Illusory Line Motion involves the collicular pathway by using blue stimuli for the cues, which activate less the Superior Colliculus (SC), with negative results. We interpreted the asymmetrical pseudo-extinction phenomenon in terms of a right-space exogenous attention advantage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12081322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]],"date-time":"2020-08-10T07:25:03Z","timestamp":1597044303000},"page":"1322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Asymmetrical Pseudo-Extinction Phenomenon in the Illusory Line Motion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Vidheya G.","family":"Del Vicario","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"}]},{"given":"Rossana","family":"Actis-Grosso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"},{"name":"Milan Center for Neuroscience (NeuroMI), Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2921-8658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadia","family":"Bolognini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"},{"name":"Milan Center for Neuroscience (NeuroMI), Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Istituto Auxologico Italiano, 20122 Milano, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1055-8353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberta","family":"Daini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"},{"name":"Milan Center for Neuroscience (NeuroMI), Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca, 20126 Milano, Italy"},{"name":"University Research Centre in Optics and Optometry, Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca (COMiB), 20126 Milano, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"224","article-title":"Sulla polarizzazione del movimento gamma","volume":"12","author":"Kanizsa","year":"1951","journal-title":"Neurol.
