Abstract
Previous results on the perception of motion indicate that perceived motion paths cannot be explained solely in terms of simple feature-specific analyzers. This is particularly true of apparent (phi) motion. In this paper we develop a dynamic network, with simple filtering and summation properties, which can predict the geometric paths of apparent motion in various spatio-temporal configurations. The network assumptions predict a non-Euclidean metric for the visual space-time of motion perception and we consider the implications of such distortions for various visual displays, including illusions.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
