The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., & Rushton, S. K. (2017, May). The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction

Prisms optically rotate the visual scene relative to the head, but the error in perceived direction that results is less than the optical deflection of the prism. This is known as the immediate correction effect (Rock, Goldberg, & Mack, 1966). The ef... Read More about The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction.

Global motion influences the detection of motion-in-depth (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., & Rushton, S. K. (2016, September). Global motion influences the detection of motion-in-depth. Poster presented at European Conference on Visual Perception, Barcelona, Spain

Detecting motion-in-depth is more difficult than detecting equivalent lateral motion (e.g. Tyler, 1971). Because there is an early averaging of left and right motion signals, some work suggests the two monocular signals could effectively cancel out w...
