In figure 8. 1 it shows how motion is a change in position over time, as the movements of this ladybug demonstrates. In other words, the illusion concept is how everything is like its falling down with the fall: addams later described this illusion as motion aftereffect (mae) Motion, that humans experience on a daily basis. Correspondence problem in motion detection, the problem faced by the motion detection system of knowing which feature in frame 2 corresponds to a particular feature in frame 1. The aperture problem: the aperture problem is closely related to the correspondence problem. Middle temporal area (mt) an area of the brain through to be important in the perception of motion: when location mt in humans, it can be shown through fmri which is labeled as mt+ or v5. Instead they poked around in their mt areas to find groups of neurons that responded to one particular direction.
