Motion And Depth Perception

A perceptual phenomenon describing how the visual and vestibular systems judge movement, depth, distance, size and spatial orientation, a foundational domain of psychophysics because accurate motion and depth perception depends on the brain resolving genuinely ambiguous sensory information. This group gathers the motion, depth and spatial perception phenomena recorded for this atlas, covering documented effects in how movement, distance, scale and balance are perceived, including situations in which that perception is reliably fooled.
