Strabismus

  • eyes not aligned, so diff

images fall on the fovea

  • If not corrected at an early

age, stereopsis will not develop stereoblindness: inability to use binocular disparity as a depth cue.

Main point of this chapter: Motion = Orientation in Space-Time

Real vs. Apparent motion

Apparent motion - motion percept that results from rapid display of stationary images in different locations

time space time space

apparent

(movies, flip-books)

“real” Q: why don’t we notice the difference?

How does the nervous system encode motion? 
 What makes a Motion Receptive Field? Answer: a surprisingly simple neural circuit called a “Reichardt detector”

Correspondence problem (motion): 


  • problem of knowing the correspondence between features in

successive frames 
 (which points in frame 1 are the same objects in frame 2?)

  • Aperture problem: 


when a moving object is viewed through an aperture, the direction of motion may be ambiguous

  • this is a problem because each neuron only sees the scene

through a small aperture (its receptive field!)

  • how can the brain figure out the “global” direction of motion?

Motion aftereffect (MAE): The illusion of motion that occurs after prolonged exposure to a moving stimulus http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot-adapt/index.html

30

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Motion after-effect

  • Always gives rise to motion in the opposite

direction of the adapting motion

  • Also known as: “waterfall illusion” -

stare at a waterfall; stationary objects will then appear to move upwards.

  • evidence for “opponent channels” in

processing motion

31

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Interocular transfer: The transfer of an effect (such as adaptation) from one eye to another


  • MAE: exhibits interocular transfer
  • Remember: Input from both eyes is combined in area V1

Q: What does this tell us about where in the brain motion is computed?
