Shifting selection may control apparent motion

Seeing Motion and Apparent Motion

In apparent motion experiments, participants are presented with what is in fact a succession of two brief stationary stimuli at two different locations, but they report an impression of movement. Philosophers have recently debated whether apparent motion provides evidence in favour of a particular account of the nature of temporal experience. I argue that the existing discussion in this area is...

Object-based apparent motion.

The interpretation of a dynamic visual scene requires integrating information within frames (grouping and completion) and across frames (correspondence matching). Fragmentary views of objects were used in five experiments. These views could not be matched with each other by any similarity transformation on the basis of their explicit visual features, but their completed versions were related by...

Apparent Motion from Outside the Visual Field, Retinotopic Cortices May Register Extra-Retinal Positions

Observers made a saccade between two fixation markers while a probe was flashed sequentially at two locations on a side screen. The first probe was presented in the far periphery just within the observer's visual field. This target was extinguished and the observers made a large saccade away from the probe, which would have left it far outside the visual field if it had still been present. The ...

Visual Inertia Tn Apparent Motion

Four dots in an imaginary diamond were flashed in succession to give ambiguous apparent motion (AM). The top and bottom dots were flashed at time t, and replaced by the left and right dots at time t,. If two priming dots were gashed beforehand at time r0 in line with two parallel sides of the diamond, AM was seen along those sides. We call this “visual inertia”. The amount of visual inertia (me...
