integration interval

[2] found attention / central viewing dramatically increased motion integration interval, with max integration interval 10 sec as found by Burr and Santoro

effect of distance on temporal binding (in cases where low-level motion was avoided)

• Motoyoshi found x for
• For temporal freezing paper, we don't know precision
• Martini & Nakayama found X
• Long-range alignment judgment we found little effect in [3]
• Binocular rivalry waves can be slow, e.g.
• Migraine aura glacial
• On the other hand,
  • Don't forget Yan's relative motion result
  • Some apparently-spreading processes seem instantaneous (spokes illusion)

modeling

Werkhoven, Snippe, & Toet. First-order, second-order, etc. low-pass filter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter

• acceleration and direction alternation

If temporally low-pass the Reichhardt outputs, all speeds represented in speed-modulated stimulus but not in unmodulated stimulus. If temporally low-pass the pre-filtering stage,wouldn't be able to perceive motion at high frequencies If delay stage is temporally low-pass,
