Abstract
By presenting the visual system with a highly complex spatio-temporal input configuration, a novel effect called “dynamic sequential displacement” has been disclosed. It is shown that the visual dynamics of this particular input configuration are unstable, yielding either (1)a coding of the input that loses all temporal ordering information or (2) a coding of the input that produces apparent movement and spatial displacement.
