Motion Aftereffect (MAE)

Settings

What is this?

The stimuli are drifting luminance noise. It drifts single direction with a certain speed.

The motion aftereffect (MAE) is a visual illusion that after watching a moving stimulus for some time, stationary objects appear to move in the opposite direction. For example, if you stair the stimulus for 30 seconds, and then click stop all button, you will see a motion toward the opposite direction.

Different types of motion can trigger different MAE. Current stimulus is one type of first-order motion.

Tips

• The stimulus is draggable, you can move it around by clicking and dragging.
• You can use space to stop and start all stimuli.
• In the Control Panel, you can add more stimuli and specify the width and height of the stimulus.
• New stimuli will be at the top right corner of the container. it may stack on top of each other. Drag them to see another one.
