Eye movements create retinal motion, complicating self-motion perception. This study found path perception and the Filehne illusion are similarly affected by eye-velocity signals, supporting a unified motion perception model.

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Neuroscience
  • Motion processing

Background:

  • Pursuit eye movements generate retinal motion, challenging self-motion estimation.
  • Extra-retinal eye-velocity signals may aid in converting retino-centric to head-centric motion.
  • The Filehne illusion demonstrates misperception of head-centric velocity during eye movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the discrepancy between accurate path perception and known errors in head-centric motion perception.
  • To directly compare path perception and the Filehne illusion under simulated eye movements.
  • To test a model of head-centric motion perception using both retinal and extra-retinal signals.

Main Methods:

  • A nulling technique measured simulated eye rotation to cancel perceived path curvature or stimulus rotation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Experiment 1 compared path perception and the Filehne illusion using the nulling technique.
  • Experiment 2 used a mouse-pointing technique to assess path perception accuracy during actual eye movements.

    • Main Results:

    • Observers consistently set simulated eye rotation to a fixed proportion of actual eye pursuit.
    • No significant differences were found between the Filehne illusion and path perception measures.
    • Path perception accuracy during real eye movements was confirmed to be imperfect.

    Conclusions:

    • The Filehne illusion and path perception are similarly influenced by eye-velocity signals.
    • A unified model of head-centric motion perception, integrating retinal and extra-retinal signals, is supported.
    • Both signals are linearly related to pursuit and retinal speed, respectively, in this model.
