title: Perception of apparent motion by commissurotomy patients.
abstract: When two spatially separated light spots are flashed in rapid succession, the spot will appear to move between the two locations--an illusion called apparent motion. We have presented this display to callosum-sectioned human patients and found that they could correctly report the temporal order of a simple apparent motion sequence presented across the vertical meridian. Hence, the forebrain commissures are not required for this function.
