Persistence of Vision
TLDR
PERSISTENCE of vision is the basis of the cinematograph, but there is no persistence of vision when the eye is moved in ordinary circumstances; if there were, reading would be a difficult and slow process.Abstract:
PERSISTENCE of vision is the basis of the cinematograph, but there is no persistence of vision when the eye is moved in ordinary circumstances. If there were, reading would be a difficult and slow process. This is explained by the double function of the ocular muscles, the decomposed photochemical products being pressed in the direction in which the eye moves, beyond the fixation point.read more

Can video images imitate real stimuli in animal behaviour experiments
TL;DR: The use of video images in place of natural stimuli in animal behaviour experiments is reviewed, the contribution made by video studies to date in the understanding of animal visual responses is considered, and recommendations as to the future uses of video are made.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between online visual representation of a scene and long-term scene memory.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that long-term memory for visual detail in a scene is robust and change detection remained well above chance after 24 hr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond anonymity, or future directions for internet identity research
TL;DR: It is argued that the terms of internet identity research are problematic, that contexts matter, and that studies of internet identities need to engage with and learn from ongoing debates within cultural studies which call into question the usefulness of the very concept of identity.

Visual Memory Within and Across Fixations
TL;DR: The area that is seen most clearly, with the highest resolution, corresponds to that part of the world that falls on the fovea, but this includes only 3 or 4 square degrees out of the 25,000 available as discussed by the authors.

Metabolic rate and body size are linked with perception of temporal information
TL;DR: A phylogenetic comparative analysis of a wide range of vertebrates is carried out to suggest that time perception may constitute an important and overlooked dimension of niche differentiation.
