  2. Representational momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_momentum

    In other words, upon viewing an object getting progressively lighter and asked to remember the final shade, participants accept a darker version of the object (where a representational momentum parallel would be to accept a lighter shade). One suggestion for this difference is that memory is playing more of a role in determining color. [22]

  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. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    t 1 and t 2 are times when the impulse begins and ends, respectively, m is the mass of the object, v 2 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and; v 1 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins. Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum.

  5. Motion perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_perception

    The motion direction of a contour is ambiguous, because the motion component parallel to the line cannot be inferred based on the visual input. This means that a variety of contours of different orientations moving at different speeds can cause identical responses in a motion sensitive neuron in the visual system.

  6. Sensory enhancement theory of object-based attention

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_enhancement_theory...

    The sensory enhancement theory assumes that attentional resources will spread until they reach the boundaries of a cued object, [1] [2] including regions that may be obstructed or are overlapping other objects. [3] [4] It has been suggested that sensory enhancement is an essential mechanism that underlies object-based attention.

  7. Structure from motion (psychophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_from_motion...

    The human visual field has an important function: capturing the three-dimensional structures of an object using different kinds of visual cues. [1] SFM is a kind of motion visual cue that uses motion of two-dimensional surfaces to demonstrate three-dimensional objects, [2] and this visual cue works really well even independent of other depth ...

  8. 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]

  9. Objet petit a - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objet_petit_a

    In the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, objet petit a stands for the unattainable object of desire, the "a" being the small other ("autre"), a projection or reflection of the ego made to symbolise otherness, like a specular image, as opposed to the big Other (always capitalised as "A") which represents otherness itself.
