Properties of the stereoscopic (cyclopean) motion aftereffect.
Across four experiments, this study investigated properties of the stereoscopic motion aftereffect (adaptation from moving retinal disparity information). The results showed that stereoscopic motion can induce an adaptation aftereffect across a wide range of conditions and observers, provided that the duration of adaptation is sufficiently long and a perceptually salient test pattern is viewed. Motion adaptation was found to transfer between the stereoscopic and luminance domains [replicating a previous report by Fox, Patterson and Lehmkuhle (1982) Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (Suppl.), 22, 144], suggesting that motion perception from stereoscopic (second-order) and luminance (first-order) attributes is mediated by a common neural substrate.
