Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A new motion illusion is reported in which saccadic eye movements can produce a perceived jump of a static stimulus presented dichoptically. In three experiments, observers made saccades while viewing a stationary stimulus consisting of a disk and random dots presented separately to the two eyes. In experiments 1 and 2, by measuring the strength of the perceived motion and the velocity of binocular eye movements, we found that (a) motion ratings were high for the stimulus that contained a large interocular difference in luminance, and (b) the saccadic strategy of the observer was virtually identical across different stimulus conditions. In experiment 3, by measuring the detectability of a short temporal gap introduced into the stimulus around saccades, we found that saccadic suppression was normal in the dichoptic presentation. We discuss possible mechanisms underlying the illusory motion.
