| reversed apparent motion with random dot patterns. | when luminance contrast of target in braddick-type random dot cinematograms (rdc) is reversed, apparent motion in a direction opposite to the physical displacement is observed. the displacement limit of direction discrimination for this contrast-reversed rdc was found to have three characteristics: (1) the limit resembles that for regular rdc; (2) it is sensitive to target area; and (3) it is limited by the visual angle rather than by number of dots. this indicates that the same short-range proc ... | 2008 | 2631396 |
