Motion parallax
Motion parallax Movement of the image of an object over the retina. The rate of movement depends upon the velocity of the object relative to the eye and its distance from the eye.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Retina
A membrane lining the inside of the back of the eye that contains light-sensitive nerve cells that convert focused light into nerve impulses, making vision possible.
Eye
The organ of sight. The eye has a number of components. These components include but are not limited to the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, macula, optic nerve, choroid and vitreous.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Motility
The movement of food through the digestive tract.
Motion capture
Occurs when features (such as random dot patterns) with no net motion of their own appear to move in sychrony with other salient moving features.
Motion Picture and Television Hospital
The Motion Picture and Television Hospital is a hospital in Los Angeles, California, United States.
Motivation theory
In psychology, the theory that internal forces and purposes determine human responsivity. Any motivation theory specifying internal goals, wants, desires, objectives and purposes as causes of present behavior is teleological and violates the scientifically established law that causes be antecedent to their effects.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Monocular depth cues
Relative size, texture gradients, perspective, shadow, height of retina image, interposition, motion parallax.
Monocular zone
The areas of the visual field from which light projects only to one of the eyes. See also Binocular Zone.
Monoptic stimulation
When only one eye views an image (the other eye being closed or occluded). See also Binoptic Stimulation and Dichoptic Stimulation.
Morphology (of a neuron)
The form and structure of a neuron including its dendritic field, cell body and axonal projections.
Motion capture
Occurs when features (such as random dot patterns) with no net motion of their own appear to move in sychrony with other salient moving features.
Motion parallax
Motor fusion
Changing the vergence of the two eyes so that images that fall on different points in the two retinas come to fall upon corresponding places in the central retinas. As opposed to Sensory Fusion.
Movement agnosia
selective loss of motion perception without loss of any other perceptual capability. Occurs after bilateral damage in the cortex of Middle Temporal Area(MT) or Medial Superior Temporal Area(MST).
Medial superior temporal area (MST)
Seems to be involved in visually tracking moving target. Projects along with Middle Temporal Area (MT) to the dorsolateral pontine nuclei in the brain stem.
Middle temporal area
Characterized by strong motion-directionally sensitive neurons with large receptive fields organized into columns. Some neurons respond to the whole rather than the component motion of moving plaid patterns. Implicated in the analysis of movement, and stereoscopic depth. Receives input from layer 4B in V1 and thick stripes in V2. Projects to Medial Superior Temporal Area (MST).
Meningocoele
Hernial protrusion of meninges.
