Vision is based on spatial correspondences between physically different structures--in environment, retina, brain, and perception. An examination of the correspondence between environmental surfaces and their retinal images showed that this consists of 2-dimensional 2nd-order differential structure (effectively 4th-order) associated with local surface shape, suggesting that this might be a prim...

Visual motion signals distort the perceived positions of briefly presented stimuli; a briefly-flashed, stationary stimulus appears spatially displaced in the direction of a nearby motion. The present study examined the role of the visual awareness of motion in the motion-induced position shift by using exclusive dominance and suppression of binocular rivalry. Observers dichoptically viewed a fl...
