Document Summary
The illusion of motion of a stationary object that occurs after prolonged exposure to a moving object. The (illusory) impression of smooth motion resulting from the rapid alternation of objects that appear in different locations in rapid succession. An opening that allows only a partial view of the object. The problem faced by the motion detection system of knowing which feature in frame 2 corresponds to a particular feature in frame 1. The fact that when a moving object is viewed through an aperture (or a receptive field), the direction of motion of a local feature or part of the object may be ambiguous. An area of the brain though to be important in the perception of motion. The transfer of an effect (such as adaptation) from one eye to the other. An object that is delineated by changes in reflected light. The motion of an object that is defined by changes in luminance.
