Strabismus• eyes are not aligned, so different 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.

apparent(movies, flip-books) “real”

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

• this is a problem because each neuron only sees the scene through a small aperture (its receptive field!)

Motion aftereffect (MAE): The illusion of motion that occurs after prolonged exposure to a moving stimulus

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

Computation of Visual Motion
Interocular transfer: The transfer of an effect (such as adaptation) from one eye to another
• MAE: exhibits interocular transfer
What does this tell us about where in the brain motion is computed?
• Remember: Input from both eyes is combined in area V1• Motion seems to be computed in area MT (middle temporal area)

Computation of Visual Motion
Newsome and Pare (1988) conducted a study on motion perception in monkeys
• Trained monkeys to respond to dot motion displays• Area MT of the monkeys was lesioned• Result: Monkeys needed about ten times as many
dots to correctly identify direction of motion

• Optic flow: the local velocity at each point in an image
optic flow field
Q: How do we use motion information to navigate?
• We experience “optic flow” fields as we move through the world
Example of pilot landing a plane: “Radial expansion”

Focus of expansion (FOE): point in the center of the horizon from which, when we are in motion, all points in the perspective image seem to emanate
• one aspect of optic flow
• tells the observer which way they are heading

• Smooth pursuit - eyes smoothly follow a moving target
• Saccade - rapid movement of the eyes that changes fixation from one location to another
• Vergence - two eyes move in opposite directions, as when both eyes turn towards the nose
• Reflexive - automatic / involuntary (e.g., vestibular)

Saccadic suppression - reduction of visual sensitivity during a saccade
Test it out yourself: Look closely in a mirror and shift your gaze from one eye to the other. You will never see the eyes moving.
(But you will see the motion if you watch a friend.)

How do we discriminate motion due to eye movements vs. object movements?
Comparator: compensates for retinal motion due to eye movement • receives a copy of the order issued by the motor system to the eyes, and
subtracts the expected motion from the retinal motion
Two scenarios with same retinal motion
object motion = eye motion - retinal motion
