Because of the delays inherent in neural transmission, the brain needs time to process
incoming visual information. If these delays were not somehow compensated, we would …

In the primate visual system, there is a significant delay in the arrival of photoreceptor
signals in visual cortical areas. Since Helmholtz, scientists have pondered over the …

A necessary consequence of the nature of neural transmission systems is that as change in
the physical state of a time-varying event takes place, delays produce error between the …

The ability of the visual system to localize objects is one of its most important functions and
yet remains one of the least understood, especially when either the object or the …

Visual perception of human actions was investigated in a long-term priming experiment. On
each trial in the priming phase, participants were presented with a pair of short motion …

Neuronal latencies delay the registration of the visual signal from a moving object. By the
time the visual input reaches brain structures that encode its position, the object has already …

In soccer games, an attacking player is said to be in an offside position if he or she is closer
to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last defender. It is an offence …

Over the history of the study of visual perception there has been great success at
discovering countless visual illusions. There has been less success in organizing the …

When observers are asked to localize the onset or the offset position of a moving target, they
typically make localization errors in the direction of movement. Similarly, when observers …

Observers' judgments of the final position of a moving target are typically shifted in the
direction of implied motion (“representational momentum”). The role of attention is unclear …
