Abstract
A new procedure for measuring the motion aftereffect (MAE) is described. The procedure involves adaptation to an animation sequence depicting dots moving in a given direction followed by presentation of a test sequence depicting dots moving in all possible directions. Under adaptation, the test sequence appears to have a directional bias opposite the direction experienced during adaptation. This MAE can be nullified by viewing an animation sequence in which a percentage of dots is constrained to move in a direction opposite the aftereffect. Using a method of constant stimuli, this percentage can be varied to find the value yielding incoherent motion. This dynamic MAE exhibits the same characteristics as the conventional MAE.

Performance with complex patterns can be predicted by spatiotemporal Fourier analysis that results in the segregation and linear addition in the output for different temporal frequencies and several predictions that were confirmed experimentally and rejected several other models.

This work studied the percept with dynamic random dot kinematograms whose elements took independent, random walks of constant step size; their directions of displacement were drawn from a uniform distribution.

Manipulations of the local and global correspondences between pictures included motion phenomena such as reversed apparent movement; a four-stroke oscillatory cycle which gave an illusion of continuous motion in one direction; edges defined by texture, stereoscopic depth, or flicker, kinetic edges; and wave motion.

Because the properties of the cells studied correlate well with human psychophysical measures of contour and movement adaptation and recovery, a causal relationship to similar neural mechanisms in humans is suggested.

Evidently a stationary pattern does not directly activate the neural mechanisms affected during motion adaptation, whereas a dynamic visual display does, which implies that the traditional explanation of the MAE needs modification.

Differences between simple and complex cells suggest that changes in direction selectivity following unidirectional adaptation are not due to simple neuronal fatigue of the unit being recorded, but depend on selective adaptation of afferent inputs to the unit.

The mechanism underlying MAE is spatially-scaled with eccentricity, but temporally homogeneous, and the time course of temporal decay of the aftereffect is similar for central and for peripheral stimuli.
