Research Abstract

No visual information is available during eye blinks. However, we usually do not notice the break of visual inputs. Employing a newly found motion illusion, the suppression mechanism was investigated. While a disc with a random texture was rotating, a sudden change of the texture or a short break of the presentation induced a reversed apparent motion illusion. Because eye blinks also induced the same illusion, preservation of visual object perception during eye blinks were partly accomplished by apparent motion between images before and after eye blinks
