During rapid eye movements, motion of the stationary world is generally not perceived despite displacement of the whole image on the retina. Here we report that during saccades, human observers sensed ...

Local motion detectors in fruit flies sense complex patterns generated by their own motion Direction-selective neuron subtypes detect complex motion patterns and not uniform directions of motion Date: ...

Today we continue on our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity. Continuing in our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity... today, Shini introduces the ideas of ...

In 350 BC, Aristotle reported seeing illusory movement after staring at a constantly moving stimulus. Later coined the "waterfall illusion," scientists are still investigating the properties of motion ...

As indicated by their name, photoreceptor cells in the eye respond to light: is an image point bright or dark? They do not indicate the direction of a movement. This perception only arises in the ...

Computation of motion by T4 cells in the fly brain more complex than previously believed. As indicated by their name, photoreceptor cells in the eye respond to light: is an image point bright or dark?
