Horizontal cell dynamics: what are the main factors?

abstract：:A compelling impression of surface slant is produced by random dot displays depicting deformation and translation alone. A simple model of slant estimation based upon deformation is shown to capture quantitatively both the perceived slant in this situation and the distortion in perceived slant produced when constant d...
