Paradoxical rest.
Paradoxical absence of motion in a rotating pattern is reported. The effect requires that the motion of the paradoxically stationary figure be underspecified by local motion signals, and that the paradoxically stationary figure be well segregated. This is consistent with proposals that figural segregation affects the integration of local motion signals.
