Abstract
In normal vision objective motion can be experienced both when a moving stimulus traverses the resting retina and when the eye itself follows the stimulus. There is, however, a type of perceived motion quite different from all others, and this is the so-called "induced motion". When, for example, one is sitting in a railway coach and a nearby train moves, it seems for a time as if one's own train were moving in the opposite direction. This is a case of induced motion.
