“…Evidence suggests that the same global form mechanism is sensitive to shape information, and shape information derived from illusory displacement in perceived position (Dickinson, Han, Bell, & Badcock, 2010). Motion streaks, arising from the extended temporal integration period of neurons in early visual cortex, improve global motion discrimination (Edwards & Crane, 2007) and provides a form cue in the direction parallel to the motion signal, which can refine direction estimates (Apthorp et al, 2013;Barlow & Olshausen, 2004;Burr & Ross, 2002;Francis & Kim, 2001;Geisler, 1999;Ross, 2004;Ross, Badcock, & Hayes, 2000). Providing form cues indicating a closed contour also enhances recovery of the global motion direction compared to an open contour (Lorenceau & Alais, 2001;Lorenceau & Lalanne, 2008).…”
