The term illusory motion, or motion illusion or apparent motion, refers to any optical illusion in which a static image appears to be moving due to the cognitive effects of interacting color contrasts, object shapes, and position. [1]

Mar 14, 2018 · We found that the computer model accurately predicted the magnitude and direction of motion of a rotating propeller in unlearned videos. Surprisingly, it also represented the rotational motion for illusion images that were not moving …

How does Illusory Motion work? Illusory motion, also known as motion illusion, is the perception of movement in a static image or pattern. This can occur when the brain is presented with a series of static images that change over time, or when certain …

Oct 31, 2021 · Research shows smooth pursuit eye movements are susceptible to motion illusions. Posted October 31, 2021 | Reviewed by Jessica Schrader. The double-drift illusion causes us to see illusory...

Aug 1, 2016 · But “kinetic,” or motion, illusions drew particular interest. In these eye tricks, stationary patterns give rise to the powerful but subjective perception of (illusory) motion. This article...

Aug 8, 2011 · There's no solid explanation for illusory motion. Some visual scientists think it has to do with fixation jitter: involuntary eye movements that give the illusion that objects near what...

Motion illusions as a basic principle in vision. Some motion illusions exhibit principles that are common among visual properties. Contrast and assimilation are illusory effects that are also observed in other visual properties, eg, brightness, colour, orientation, and size.

Studying the mismatch between perception and reality helps us better understand the constructive nature of the visual brain. The Pinna–Brelstaff motion illusion is a compelling example illustrating how a complex moving pattern can generate an illusory motion perception.

May 1, 2010 · Vision scientists have shown that illusory motion activates brain areas that are similar to those activated by real motion. This illusion, created by Beau Lotto and Dale Purves of Duke...

Jul 1, 2006 · Here we present images of activations in the primary visual cortex in response to real and apparent motion. The images show that during apparent motion, a path connecting the cortical representations of the stimulus locations is filled in by activation.
