Q

Neurons that respond at differnt latencies

A

When the stimulus us moving at the proper speed, the slower neurons, which are stimulated first, respond at the same point in time as the faster neurons, which are stimulated later. If these responses are added together, the resulting signal could encode stimulus speed and direction. Neurons capable of encoding certain aspects of motion have been found in the retina

Q

Motion aftereffect

A
  • when viewing a stationary scene, the various neurons responses cancel each other out, so that not motion is perceived
  • when it starts moving, neurons sensitive to certain directional motion will increase their firing rate, leading to the perception of motion in that direction
  • after you watch the motion for long enough, the neurons will become fatuigued
  • when you stop the motion, the neurons will fire in a slowerrate compared to the neuron in opposite direction, causing the drifting (MAE)

Objects appear to move ______ under rod mediated vision than under one mediated vision

A

Slower

-reason you need headlights on when driving at night

76
Q

Under mesopic conditions, where bothrods and cones are both active, motion perception is impaired because

A

An incomplete integration of rod and cone signals

77
Q

What effect does the velocity of a moving stimulus have on VA

A

As stimulus velocity increases, resolution acuity remains relatively constant up till 60-80 d/s
Beyond this velocity, the dynamic VA deteriorates

78
Q

The reduction in dynamic visual acuity as target velocity increases is apparently due to the inability to accurately follow the stimulus with tracking (or following) eye movements, referred to as

A

Smooth eye pursuits

79
Q

There is evidence that higher dynamic visual acuity is associated with __________ while driving

A

Improved ability to detect hazardous situations

80
Q

Reason we dont see blurring during smooth pursuits

A

Saccadic suppression

81
Q

The ballistic eye movement between two fixation points is referred to as a

A

Saccadic eye movement

82
Q

Note that as you move your eyes from finger to finger or from any object to another object, the visual world remains still and cleat. This is in spite of the movement of images across your retina as you move your eyes

A

Vision is suppressed shortly before, during, and shortly after saccadic eye movments. This phenomenon, called saccadic suppression and saccadic omission, enables us to look from one object to another without smearing. Because magno pathway is sensitivt to high velocity movement, it is presumable suppressed to avoid smearing of vision
