Perceived causality can alter the perceived trajectory of apparent motion.
When objects collide, human observers perceive not only motion but also causal relations, such as which object caused the other to move. In the present experiments, we investigated whether such causal interpretations can actually influence the perceived path of apparent motion. Displays contained two alternately flashing motion targets positioned at either end of a semicircular occluder. Two ad...
متن کاملSimultaneity, Causality, and Spectral Representations
Recently Zangari and Censor discussed the non-uniqueness of the spatiotemporal world-view, and proposed a representative alternative based on the Fourier transform as a mathematical model. It was argued that this so called spectral representation, by virtue of the invertibility of the Fourier transform, is fully equivalent to our conventional spatiotemporal world-view, although in the two syste...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity With Apparent Simultaneity
An interpretation of special relativity is presented with alternative principles that treat an appearance of simultaneity as physically real. This implies instantaneous propagation of incoming light, but maintains light’s invariable propagation rate of c by using an alternative measure of speed. The relativistic Doppler effect is derived from physical principles based on the direct appearance o...
متن کاملThe Causality and Simultaneity between Price and Trading Intensity
This paper empirically examines the relationship between trading intensity and price in the US existing home markets. In particular, I have tested two recent theories, the search model by Wheaton (1990) and the "downpayment" model by Stein (1995). The search model predicts that trading volume should positively affect real home price, while the "downpayment" model predicts that, with liquidity c...
متن کاملSimultaneity and sequence in the perception of apparent motion.
Motion perception usually is accompanied by the phenomenological impression of sequence as objects move through successions of locations. Nonetheless, there is accumulating evidence that sequential information is neither necessary nor sufficient for perceiving motion. It is shown here that apparent motion is specified by counterchange rather than sequence-that is, by co-occurring toward- and aw...
