After an object disappears, the vanishing point is shifted in the direction of motion, a
phenomenon known as representational momentum. The present study focused on the …

Representational momentum describes the typical overestimation of the final location of a
moving stimulus in the direction of stimulus motion. While systematically observed in …

Representational momentum (RM) is the term used to describe a systematic mislocalization
of dynamic stimuli, a forward shift; that is, an overestimation of the location of a stimulus …

The biases affecting people's perception of dynamic stimuli are typically robust and strong
for specific stimulus configurations. For example, representational momentum describes a …

We report two experiments designed to investigate how the implied motion of tactile stimuli
influences perceived location. Predicting the location of sensory input is especially important …

The perception of dynamic objects is sometimes biased. For example, localizing a moving
object after it has disappeared results in a perceptual shift in the direction of motion, a bias …

Our perception of the world around us depends on input from many sense organs working
together. In particular, our senses of vision, hearing, and touch are crucial for sensing the …

The coding of the position of touch on the skin and of the size and shape of the body are
both fundamental for interacting with our surrounds. The aim of this thesis was to learn more …
