A psychoanatomical investigation of the blanking phenomenon.

abstract：:This study examined spatial-frequency effects on a motion-pooling process in which spatially distributed local one-dimensional motion signals are integrated into the perception of global two-dimensional motion. Motion pooling over two- to three-octave frequency differences was found to be nearly impossible when all Ga...
