Abstract:
In several experiments the motion after-effect as elicited by spirals and gratings ("waterfall displays") is used to analyze the processing of information within the visual system. The duration and judged strength of after-effects are determined with respect to different fixation conditions (monocular and binocular fixation conditions as well as centric and eccentric fixation). The results show, that motion after-effects in spirals and waterfall displays are generated and processed in different ways within the visual system. The results are discussed on the basis of a metric of the visual system by means of the motion after-effect.

Mechanism of Ciliary Motion
The cilia are made up of microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement, with nine microtubule doublet ring bundles, surrounding a pair of central singlet microtubule bundles. The doublet microtubule bundles are...
Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the drone...
Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it instrumental in...
