Abstract

A new apparatus for studying the visual perception of rotational motion is presented. The revolving X-Y plotter allows the observer to directly affect changes in the motion parameters of a revolving stimulus as it is being viewed. The advantages afforded by this apparatus over previously used response measures is discussed followed by a description of its design and utilization. The primary value of the apparatus is that it makes possible a precise response measure of the perceived center of any rotating stimulus.
