Perception

Motion Detection

MOTION DETECTION demonstrates how sensitive peripheral vision is to motion. Viewing from the center of a large semi-circle, a visitor can adjust an object, which can be either moving or stationary, around the edge of the semi-circle. At a certain point, the object can no longer be seen in peripheral vision. If the object starts moving, the observer will become aware of it, even though it could not be seen while it was stationary.
