Subjective motion, psychological analysis.

Abstract

Over the last thirty years, much attention has been devoted to one specific issue – subjective motion. This article takes a retrospective look at the related studies on psychological analysis of subjective motion, which cover a wide variety of perspectives, including understanding tasks, drawing tasks, eye movement tasks, time and motion surveys, and neuroscience studies. These previous works can give important enlightenment to the field of motion studies.
