  2. Phi phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_phenomenon

    Example of beta movement. Phi phenomenon has long been confused with beta movement; however, the founder of Gestalt School of Psychology, Max Wertheimer, has distinguished the difference between them in 1912. While Phi phenomenon and Beta movement can be considered in the same category in a broader sense, they are quite distinct indeed.

  3. Korte's third law of apparent motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korte's_third_law_of...

    The third law, particularly, describes how the increase in distance between two stimuli narrows the range of interstimulus intervals (ISI), which produce the apparent motion. [4] It holds that there is a requirement for the proportional decrease in the frequency in which two stimulators are activated in alternation with the increase in ISI to ...

  4. Illusory motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_motion

    Billboards and other electronic signs use apparent motion to simulate moving text by flashing lights on and off as if the text is moving.. The term illusory motion, or motion illusion or apparent motion, refers to any optical illusion in which a static image appears to be moving due to the cognitive effects of interacting color contrasts, object shapes, and position. [1]

  5. Ternus illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternus_illusion

    Instead, apparent motion appears to arise from the visual system's processing of the physical properties of the percept. It is for this reason that apparent motion is a key area of research in the domain of vision research. [5] The Ternus illusion is perhaps one of the best examples of such an effect.

  6. Apparent motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_motion

    Beta movement, an illusion of movement where two or more still images are combined by the brain into surmised motion; Illusory motion, the appearance of movement in a static image; Phi phenomenon, an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in succession

  7. Beta movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_movement

    Example of the beta movement effect The term beta movement is used for the optical illusion of apparent motion in which the very short projection of one figure and a subsequent very short projection of a more or less similar figure in a different location are experienced as one figure moving.

  8. Autokinetic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autokinetic_effect

    The autokinetic effect (also referred to as autokinesis and the autokinetic illusion) is a phenomenon of visual perception in which a stationary, small point of light in an otherwise dark or featureless environment appears to move. [1]

    An example of how multiple causes can lead to one action is human movement. In the body, the brain can send many different signals to cause movements such as speech. These signals sent from the brain go to many different muscles in order to control the movement as we speak a word.
