Description
Joonsik Moon and Peter Bex wrote this research paper, published in 2025. It compares the eyes' automatic tracking with conscious judgment when people watch global motion, asking which motion features each system trusts.
Vision reads two kinds of motion: the fine carrier pattern and its broader envelope. Both eye following and perceived direction leaned on the envelope, while carrier motion alone produced big direction errors and barely moved the eyes. Shorter showings hurt judged speed, by weakening signal and adding noise, but left eye responses untouched. Direction judgments and eye movements, though, shared a noise pattern, hinting at a common source. Trial by trial, judged direction trailed the eyes' direction slightly, while judged speed ignored eye speed. The authors say feedback loops link the systems for direction only.
