Reference Frames in Vision
Abstract
The goal of this project is to examine the consequences of observer motion for visual function. The research has focussed on two issues: One issue is how a grossly time-varying retinal input (because of eye, head, and body motion) results in the perception of a continuous and directionally stable visual world. A second issue concerns how the information in successive views is related, and the nature of the visual information retained from previous views. Understanding these processes is important for a wide variety of visual-motor tasks. In the past year progress has been made on the following six projects. (1) The role of the visual scene and eye position signals in visual stability; (2) The role of attention in integrating across saccades; (3) Reference frames for spatial memory; (4) Hand-eye coordination during complex tasks; (5) Detectability of changes during saccades; and (6) Short term visual memory of complex scenes.
