The Motion Aftereffect:A Modern Perspective

The Motion Aftereffect:A Modern Perspective. Mather, G., Verstraten, F., & Anstis, S. M. 1998. Place: Cambridge, Massachusetts ISBN: 0262133431

Paper abstract bibtex

Motion perception lies at the heart of the scientific study of vision. The motionaftereffect (MAE), probably the best known phenomenon in the study of visual illusions, is theappearance of directional movement in a stationary object or scene after the viewer has been exposedto visual motion in the opposite direction. For example, after one has looked at a waterfall for aperiod of time, the scene beside the waterfall may appear to move upward when ones gaze istransferred to it. Although the phenomenon seems simple, research has revealed surprisingcomplexities in the underlying mechanisms, and offered general lessons about how the brain processesvisual information. In the last decade alone, more than 200 papers have been published on MAE,largely inspired by improved techniques for examining brain electrophysiology and by emerging newtheories of motion perception. The contributors to this volume are all active researchers who havehelped to shape the modern conception of MAE.Contributors:David Alais, Stuart Anstis, Patrick Cavanagh, Jody Culham, John Harris, Michelle Kwas, TimothyLedgeway, George Mather, Bernard Moulden, Michael Niedeggen, Shin'ya Nishida, Allan Pantle, RobertPatterson, Jane Raymond, Michael Swanston, Peter Thompson, Frans Verstraten, Michael von Grunau,Nicolas Wade, Eugene Wist.
