Abstract
Experimental results on the correspondence between motion appearances and accommodative responses to multiple apparent motion stimuli have made us predict the existence of a serial multichannel structure in human vision. In this report, in order to computationally verify the validity of the existence, it is examined whether the cooperative motion detection model characterized by the same serial multichannel structure can theoretically reproduce the experimental results by being applied to the same multiple apparent motion stimuli. Consequently, it is shown that the computational results agree well with the experimental ones in the following aspects. (1) There exists a critical spatial frequency in which two kinds of motion perception is replaced by a single motion perception. (2) A critical spatial frequency is shifted to higher frequencies with the average temporal frequency and the number of still images per a spatial period of the presented stimuli. (3) Two kinds of accommodative states are fundamentally induced depending on which apparent wave's motion observers pay attention to. (4) The accommodation error for the second apparent wave increases a little as the average temporal frequency and the number of still images per a spatial period are decreased in the single motion perception region. The above results mean that the existence of a serial multichannel structure in human vision has been supported from a computational point of view.
