The Motion Aftereffect by George Mather,Frans Verstraten,S. M. Anstis Pdf

Motion perception lies at the heart of the scientific study of vision. The motion aftereffect (MAE) is the appearance of directional movement in a stationary object or scene after the viewer has been exposed to viusal motion in the opposite direction. For example, after one has looked at a waterfall for a period of time, the scene beside the waterfall may appear to move upward when one's gaze is transfered to it. Although the phenomenon seems simple, research has revealed copmlexities in the underlying mechanisms, and offered general lessons about how the brain processes visual information. In the 1990s alone, more than 200 papers have been published on MAE, largely inspired by improved techniques for examining brain electrophysiology and by emerging new theories of motion perception.

The Motion Aftereffect by George Mather,Frans Verstraten,Stuart Anstis Pdf

Motion perception lies at the heart of the scientific study of vision. The motion aftereffect (MAE), probably the best known phenomenon in the study of visual illusions, is the appearance of directional movement in a stationary object or scene after the viewer has been exposed to visual motion in the opposite direction. For example, after one has looked at a waterfall for a period of time, the scene beside the waterfall may appear to move upward when ones gaze is transferred to it. Although the phenomenon seems simple, research has revealed surprising complexities in the underlying mechanisms, and offered general lessons about how the brain processes visual information. In the last decade alone, more than 200 papers have been published on MAE, largely inspired by improved techniques for examining brain electrophysiology and by emerging new theories of motion perception. The contributors to this volume are all active researchers who have helped to shape the modern conception of MAE.

Perception by R. Held,H.W. Leibowitz,H.L. Teubner Pdf

This volume was designed to focus on the problems of perception and originally was to have been solely edited by Professor Hans-Lukas Teuber who was a member of the editorial board which initiated production of the Handbook. Accordingly, he issued invitations to a number of researchers III perception asking them to contribute chapters written in a style described III his words: " . . . Ire hope that no author lI'ill feel COl/strained to undertake a major search of the literature: he could In'ite, instead. on an area in which he has been quite actire himse?t~ and II'here most of the issues are immediately obt"ious to him. In this Iray, the IITiting of the chapter should be cnjoyable rather than a chore . . it should result in a personal account of the state of a given area rather than in an encyclopedic treatise . . . the field deserves this sort of summary ret'iell", particularly (f it is pointed toward the future and speeds the convergence of det'elopments in sensory physiology and psychological studies of perception, " With the growing burden of national and international commitments includ ing departmental headship, Professor Teuber felt that it would be wise to share the editorial responsibilities for this volume and accordingly, asked Professors Richard Held and Herschel Leibowitz to co-edit the volume with him in the same spirit as outlined in his invitation to authors. They agreed to help in this task.

Visual Motion Aftereffect in an Excitable Brain Tissue by Ketan Bajaj Pdf

When ones looks at a moving stimulus for a long duration and immediately after that looks at a stationary stimulus, the stationary stimulus appears to be moving in the opposite direction. This perceptual aftereffect is known as the motion aftereffect or the waterfall illusion. This perceptual aftereffect has been discussed widely and there are numerous research publications available discussing the phenomenon and underlying mechanisms. Here I present an explanation for motion aftereffect that might be after all the true explanation. Brain tissue is an excitable tissue with excitation spreading via neural synaptic connectivity, diffusion of ions in the free extracellular space and glial mechanisms of potassium buffering and calcium responses. A prolonged spiking activity of neurons in a tissue can trigger spread of excitability. Within a tissue volume there exist neural cells that are selective to opposite stimuli, like orthogonal orientations and opposite directions of motion. Direction selective neurons would adapt to their preferred stimulus and exhibit a decrease in responsiveness. While doing so these would trigger a spread of tissue excitability towards neurons selective to opposite direction of motion. The opposite direction selective neurons would exhibit an increase in responsiveness due to an increase in surrounding tissue excitability. It is suggested here that this leads to motion aftereffect, that is, following adaptation when a stationary stimulus is viewed it gives rise to a perception of motion in opposite direction.
