Definition(s)

  • The detection and recognition of motion is one of the key functions of vision. This is not a statement only about human vision: In every species where evidence for visual motion processing has been sought, it has been found, from mammals such as monkeys, cats, and rabbits, through amphibians, crustaceans, and insects.
