Tóm tắt

The line-motion illusion has been regarded as the result of attention. An alternative interpretation is that the illusion is related to apparent motion which would predict the stimuli to contain motion energy associated with the direction of the illusory motion. In order to examine this possibility Fourier transforms of x – t plots of line-motion stimuli were generated under a variety of conditions. The sums of amplitudes associated with movement in the directions away from the cue relative to that towards the cue were compared to previously published psychophysical observations. It was found that the amplitude sums are largely consistent with the psychophysical results. In the few cases where there were discrepancies between results based on amplitude spectra and psychophysical findings, these discrepancies could be accounted for by making relatively simple and plausible assumptions. The present observations suggest that motion energy may be sufficient to account for the line-motion illusion.
