Feature-specific electrophysiological correlates of texture segregation.

abstract：:We recently reported a new motion illusion where dots in expanding random dot patterns appear to move faster than those in rotation patterns despite having the same physical speed distributions. In the current paper, we compared expansion and rotation motion to translational motion and found that the perceived dot spe...
