چکیده

A moving random-dot stimulus was presented in two sequential frames separated by an interstimulus interval (ISI) during which the field was spatially uniform with luminance equal to either the average luminance of the stimulus field (grey) or that of the black dots (black). In Experiment 1, black ISIs did not affect perception of motion direction but grey ISIs produced motion in the direction opposite to the physical displacement (reverse motion). In Experiment 2, the contrast of the stimulus was reversed simultaneously with the displacement of the random-dot fields so that reverse motion would be seen with no ISI [Anstis & Rogers, Vision Research, 15, 957, 1975]. In this condition, grey ISIs reversed the reverse motion to produce a veridical perception. Finally, in Experiment 3, we examined whether the negative image that follows the stimulus offset was the source of the reversal in motion direction. A gradual offset of the stimulus necessarily reduces the amplitude of the negative response at stimulus offset and also reduced the frequency of seeing reverse motion, suggesting that the apparent reversal of motion direction with ISI can be attributed to the negative phase of a biphasic impulse response function. A simulation of the temporal response to the displacements of random-dot fields demonstrated that the negative phase of a biphasic impulse response function is sufficient to produce the reverse motion. We therefore claim that there is a significant biphasic temporal response function that precedes the analysis of motion in the visual system. This indicates that the overall temporal response function of the visual system is the result of a cascade of functions from early through late stages and that only a portion of the overall temporal response function can be attributed to stages involved in motion analysis.

Psychophysical properties of two-stroke apparent motion.

In two-stroke apparent movement, repeated presentation of a two-frame pattern displacement followed by a brief inter-stimulus interval (ISI) can create an impression of continuous forward motion (G. Mather, 2006). Does the ISI in two-stroke motion just break the connection between adjacent frames, switching off the motion signal they normally generate, or does it actually generate a reversed mo...

Cortical dynamics of visual motion perception: short-range and long-range apparent motion.

This article describes further evidence for a new neural network theory of biological motion perception. The theory clarifies why parallel streams V1----V2, V1----MT, and V1----V2----MT exist for static form and motion form processing among the areas V1, V2, and MT of visual cortex. The theory suggests that the static form system (Static BCS) generates emergent boundary segmentations whose outp...

Cortical Dynamics of Form and Motion Integration : Persistence , Apparent Motion

How does the visual system generate percepts of moving forms? How does this happen when the forms are emergent percepts, such as illusory contours or segregated textures, and the motion percept is apparent motion between the emergent forms? We develop a neural model of form-motion interactions to explain and simulate parametric properties of psychophysical motion data and to make predictions ab...
