Motion perception

Motion perception plays a fundamental role in our daily visual experience; it is critical for computing the speed and direction of moving objects and controlling our own body and eye movements. Motion perception relies on our visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems; therefore, when any of these systems is impaired, motion perception deficits are likely to arise. Approaches to understanding multisensory interaction between these systems is thus crucial for supporting individuals with motion perception disorders.
This Collection welcomes original research articles investigating motion perception and the multiple systems that underlie our ability to perceive object motion, self-motion, and control different parts of our body. Research articles on motion perception disorders and approaches to their diagnosis and treatment are welcome.

Elena Gheorghiu is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, at the University of Stirling, United Kingdom. She holds a PhD from the Faculty of Physics, University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. Her research is aimed at understanding neural mechanisms underlying human visual perception. She maintains a broad range of research interests within visual sciences spanning the disciplines of psychophysics, electrophysiology, and computational modelling. Dr Gheorghiu’s research is concerned with shape/object perception, texture processing, symmetry perception, colour vision, perceptual grouping, temporal processing, motion perception, binocular and spatial vision. Dr Gheorghiu has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2018.
J. Farley Norman, PhD, Western Kentucky University, USA
J. Farley Norman is University Distinguished Professor at Western Kentucky University, USA. His research interests include visual and tactile motion perception, the visual perception of 3-D object shape from motion, and how visual and tactile/haptic perception is affected by aging. Professor Norman has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2023.
