Motion Perception into Our World that is Always in Action by: Ledayl C. Maralit
Discussing about your brain and how it reacts to motion in order to make decisions is the main idea tackled in the “Brain Games: Motion Commotion” episode. Brain Games is a television series that explores the components of the human brain. Through the use of social experiments and interactive showmanship, this show encourages the viewers to participate in the said brain games, in which they’ll be able to unravel the main points presented by each episode. In the mentioned episode, it stated that you are in a world that is constantly moving, the human brain had to develop a pretty sophisticated sense of motion in order to survive and that is apparent motion wherein we see a series of still images that are strung together very quickly and our brain perceives this as motion. Various experiments are done for the viewers to have an easy understanding of the factors connected to the topic, movement perception of the brain.
The initial experiment is to observe an Auto Kinetic image wherein our brain is tricked into seeing motion – even though there isn’t any. Our visual cortex is the one who is responsible for this, we tend to think that it is the picture that’s doing the trick but actually we are the one who’s doing it because our visual cortex is designed to detect and see motion whether we like it or not. In the proceeding experiments I learned that we humans having evolved as visual animals are all hard-wired to notice and be captivated by motion this is what the scientists call the brain’s Orienting Response in which we feel compelled to look at anything that moves within our field of vision. Our peripheral vision is much more sensitive to motion than the rest of our eye this is exhibited through the coin shoulder trick. I suppose that the latter part of the episode became more dragging as it exposed the viewers into more astounding experiments in which it appeared that sound can really
