What is Motion Coherence in terms of Sensation & Perception? Is it just the perception of movement by the Middle Temporal visual area in the motor cortex?
In: Biology
Human vision is very, very good at processing motion. But that processing is more than just detection of motion. There is a complex relationship established to “understand” the motion, effectively predicting the future path of the moving object. That’s how it’s possible to hit a Major League curve ball, but the feature probably evolved in hunting/being hunted scenarios.
Motion Coherence allows you to think about the future motion and respond to it even though you haven’t seen it yet.
