Focusing on the phenomenal use of 'looks', I then investigate connections between its semantics, the content of ...

Radial motion looks faster

Current models of motion perception depend on unidirectional motion-sensitive mechanisms that provide local inputs for complex pattern motion, such as optic flow. To test the generality of such models, we asked observers to compare the speed of radial gratings with the translational speed of vertical gratings. The speed of the radial gratings was consistently overestimated by 20-60% relative to...

Machines and tools, as well as industrial and economic thinking, will be converted quickly from the demands of war to the needs of peace.
