Researchers found that people make much more accurate estimates when they have access to information about both the speed of a moving object and the timing of its rhythmic patterns. Catching a ...

The brain uses similar computations to calculate the direction and speed of objects in motion whether they are perceived visually or through the sense of touch, scientists report. The brain uses ...

Our motion perception is remarkably well tuned to detect small changes in speed and direction. For example, soccer goalkeepers need to precisely judge the speed, direction, and curvature of an ...

Objects at rest stay at rest: If an object isn’t moving, it will remain the same unless a force pushes or pulls it. Objects in motion stay in motion: If an object is already moving, it will continue ...

The brain uses similar computations to calculate the direction and speed of objects in motion whether they are perceived visually or through the sense of touch. The notion that the brain uses shared ...
