“…Moreover, the contrast of the stimulus just before and after illusory cessation of motion does not appear to change. In a recent study (Hsieh & Tse, 2006b), we have shown that when systematically changing the luminance of the stimulus, the perceived speed decrement (and the time to full perceived cessation of motion) does not change, suggesting that motion fading is unlikely to be due to a decrease of luminance contrast or perceived brightness.…”

“…A more plausible account is that motion fading arises because of adaptation or fatigue among cortical neurons that encode motion (Hsieh & Tse, 2006b). Such fatiguing or adaptation is presumed to play a role in the well-known motion aftereffect (MAE), in which illusory motion is perceived to occur over a stationary object or image following prolonged exposure to visual motion (Wohlgemuth, 1911).…”

After prolonged viewing of a slowly drifting or rotating pattern under strict fixation, the pattern appears to slow down and then momentarily stop. The authors show that grouping can slow down the process of "motion fading," suggesting that cortical configural form analysis interacts with the computation of motion signals during motion fading. The authors determined that grouping slows motion fading because it can give rise to trackable features, such as virtual contour terminators not present in the image, that possess stronger motion signals than would occur in the absence of such trackable features. That a continuously rotating stimulus will eventually be perceived to stop, despite the presence of such trackable features, suggests that the motion-from-form system itself can be fatigued. The finding that stationary form can remain visible even after the motion signal has faded suggests that the neural bases of motion visibility and form visibility arise from different neuronal populations.

“…How a form is parsed influences the magnitude of motion signals generated by its perceived shape ( Caplovitz & Tse, 2007b ; Hsieh & Tse, 2007 ), suggesting that a form analysis stage precedes the computation of motion vectors. That the form processing stage and motion processing stage may involve different underlying neural populations is revealed by the finding that motion can adapt to a point that motion perception ceases, in a phenomenon known as “motion fading,” although the form remains statically visible despite it having changed its location in the visual input ( Hsieh & Tse, 2009 ; Kohler, Caplovitz, Hsieh, Sun, & Tse, 2010 ). Moreover, form outputs may interact with translational and rotational motion computations independently ( Porter, Caplovitz, Kohler, Ackerman, & Peter, 2011 ).…”

Endogenous attention biases transformational apparent motion based on high-level shape representations

et al. 2022

When two pre-existing, separated squares are connected by the sudden onset of a bar between them, viewers do not perceive the bar to appear all at once. Instead, they see an illusory morphing of the original squares over time. The direction of this transformational apparent motion (TAM) can be influenced by endogenous attention deployed before the appearance of the connecting bar. Here, we investigated whether the influence of endogenous attention on TAM results from operations over high-level feature-independent shape representations, or instead over lower level shape representations defined by specific visual features. To do so, we tested the influence of endogenous attention on TAM in first- and second-order displays, which shared common shapes but had different shape-defining attributes (luminance and texture contrast, respectively). In terms of both the magnitude of directional bias and timing, we found that endogenous attention exerted a similar influence on both first- and second-order objects. These results imply that endogenous attention biases the perceived direction of TAM by operating on high-level shape representations that are invariant to the low-level visual features that define them. Our results support a four-stage model of TAM, where a feature encoding stage passes a features-specific layout to a parsing stage that forms discrete, high-level meta-featural shapes, which are then matched and visually interpolated over time.

“…Their occurrence is crucial for maintaining perception as a perfectly stable image on the retina quickly fades (e.g., Riggs, Ratliff, Cornsweet, & Cornsweet, 1953) (for reviews see Martinez-Conde, Rolfs, 2009). Recent research has shown that perception of peripheral and foveal targets may fade after a period of 200 to 600ms without a microsaccade (Costela, McCamy, Macknik, Otero-Millan, & Martinez-Conde, 2013;Hsieh & Tse, 2009b;Martinez-Conde, Macknik, Troncoso, & Dyar, 2006;McCamy, Macknik, & Martinez-Conde, 2014;Rucci & Desbordes, 2003;Troncoso, Macknik, & Martinez-Conde, 2008) (but see Bonneh et al, 2010). However perception is also compromised around the moment of the movement (Hafed, 2013;Hass & Horwitz, 2011;Maij, Matziridi, Smeets, & Brenner, 2012;Schütz, Braun, & Gegenfurtner, 2009) and it may therefore be adaptive to briefly suppress microsaccades during demanding visual tasks (Bridgeman & Palca, 1980).…”
