The existence of a central fovea, the small retinal region with high analytical performance, is
arguably the most prominent design feature of the primate visual system. This centralization …

This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

Dot patterns sliding transparently across one another are normally perceived as
independently moving surfaces. Recordings from direction-selective neurons in area MT of …

We determined the effect of dot speed on the typical and atypical development of motion-
defined form perception. Monocular motion coherence thresholds for orientation …

The conclusions drawn by Benjamin Libet from his work with collegues on the timing of
somatosensorial conscious experiences has met with a lot of praise and criticism. In this …

The job of any sensory system is to create objects in the world out of the incoming proximal
stimulus energy. The energy is neutral; it does not specify the objects itself. Thus, sensory …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dot speed and dot density on the
development of global motion perception by comparing the performance of adults and …

The predominant view of motion and form processing in the human visual system assumes
that these two attributes are handled by separate and independent modules. Motion …

In daily life our visual system is bombarded with motion information. We see cars driving by,
flocks of birds flying in the sky, clouds passing behind trees that are dancing in the wind …

The typical development of motion perception is commonly assessed with tests of global
motion integration using random dot kinematograms. There are discrepancies, however …
