Slow Temporal Dynamics of Motion-Induced Brightness Shift Reveals Impact of Adaptation/ - sage 2019 - Vol 48, Issue 5, 2019: (402-411 p.).

Brightness of an object is determined by various factors including ambient illumination, surface reflectance of the object, and spatial and temporal relation between the object and its surrounding context. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the motion of an object alters its own and nearby object’s appearance such as brightness and color. This study aims to unveil mechanisms of the motion-induced brightness shift by measuring its temporal dynamics. We found that the motion-induced brightness shift occurred instantaneously with the motion onset when the motion was introduced abruptly. However, the brightness of a stationary object was altered gradually by a nearby moving object in about 2 s time window when the stationary dot was introduced abruptly. Two distinct temporal dynamics (slow vs. fast) of the motion-induced brightness shift demonstrate that both slow neural adaptation and fast neural normalization processes determine the brightness shift induced by the object’s motion.
