Motion Perception
- complicated process involving both
visual
messages from the
retina
and messages from
muscles
of the eyes as they follow an
object
.
Real Movement
- physical displacement, how position of object changes in relation to its background. Involves
M-cells
(
magnocellular
).
Biological Movement
- we innately recognize the movement of a human body. It's more flowing and natural than
artificial
, nonhuman movement.
Autokinetic Movement
(Apparent Movement) - This is when we have the perception that a
stationary
object is moving. Also, if you stare at something long enough, it will appear to move because of the slight
twitching
of your eye muscles.
Stroboscopic Movement
- apparent motion created by a
rapid
series of images of stationary objects (
aka
: movies and cartoons).
Phi Phenomenon
- Ever see
Christmas lights
that appear to move along the string? The
Phi Phenomenon
is when many lights blinking in sequence give the illusion of a
single spot
of light moving.
Motion perception is not for seeing movement
