Motion perception, particularly in three dimensions, is a fundamental aspect of human visual processing that enables the interpretation of dynamic environments. The brain combines multiple sensory ...

Motion perception plays a fundamental role in our daily visual experience; it is critical for computing the speed and direction of moving objects and controlling our own body and eye movements. Motion ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...

A research team has been investigating the question of how we perceive a stable environment despite constant eye movements. The result: rapid and smooth eye movements are based on different mechanisms ...

The motion aftereffect, sometimes referred to as the "waterfall illusion," is one of the oldest visual illusions ever discovered, dating as far back as Aristotle. When we are exposed to a continuously ...

Our motion perception is remarkably well tuned to detect small changes in speed and direction. For example, soccer goalkeepers need to precisely judge the speed, direction, and curvature of an ...

A combination of physiological, neurological, genetic, and habit-linked factors influences how prone one is to feeling motion ...
