Summary
Previously published psychophysical observations suggest that human subjects use temporal cues, i.e., information about stimulus duration, to scale the velocity of motion across the skin. The results of three new experiments provide additional support for this temporal hypothesis of velocity scaling. In an additional experiment, the robustness of the neural mechanism(s) underlying this perceptual capacity was explicitly tested in three patients who had sustained supratentorial cerebrovascular lesions.
