Looming motion primes the visuomotor system.
A wealth of evidence now shows that human and animal observers display greater sensitivity to objects that move toward them than to objects that remain static or move away. Increased sensitivity in humans is often evidenced by reaction times that increase in rank order from looming, to receding, to static targets. However, it is not clear whether the processing advantage enjoyed by looming moti...
متن کاملLooming motion and visual attention
Motion perception is essential to adapt behavior in a dynamic environment. Many studies have suggested that looming motion captures attention, whereas receding motion does not, highlighting the behavioral urgency of motion perception. The present study examined whether attentional resources can be attracted by a specific directed flow in the presence of multiple flows that are simultaneously di...
متن کاملCompatibility of motion facilitates visuomotor synchronization.
Prior research indicates that synchronized tapping performance is very poor with flashing visual stimuli compared with auditory stimuli. Three finger-tapping experiments compared flashing visual metronomes with visual metronomes containing a spatial component, either compatible, incompatible, or orthogonal to the tapping action. In Experiment 1, synchronization success rates increased dramatica...
متن کاملVisuomotor Adaptation: Dependency on Motion Trajectory
The present contribution studies the rapid adaptation process of the visuomotor system to optical transformations (here: shifting the image horizontally via prism goggles). It is generally believed that this adaptation consists primarily of recalibrating the transformation between visual and proprioceptive perception. According to such a purely perceptual account of adaptation, the exact path u...
متن کاملAbsence of spatial updating when the visuomotor system is unsure about stimulus motion.
How does the visuomotor system decide whether a target is moving or stationary in space or whether it moves relative to the eyes or head? A visual flash during a rapid eye-head gaze shift produces a brief visual streak on the retina that could provide information about target motion, when appropriately combined with eye and head self-motion signals. Indeed, double-step experiments have demonstr...
