Judge motion direction before feedback and retest unfamiliar speeds and locations
Motion perception is trainable on defined tasks, but ‘faster eyes’ is not supported. This lesson teaches direction discrimination for brief moving-dot clips at a fixed display. The learner starts each clip, chooses direction once, records confidence and symptoms, then retests unfamiliar clips. It does not train “faster eyes” or diagnose motion-perception problems. Direction errors are grouped by axis and stimulus feature, so a left–right confusion is not merged with an up–down confusion or with a failure limited to one screen location.
What you will produceThe learner completes two matched motion-clip sets and reports direction accuracy, confidence, display configuration and symptom burden.
View each one-second centre-lane disk clip once and commit L, R, U or D before opening the Set A direction key.
Score each direction and exact confusion, repeat with concealed Set B and later test only the 10-mm-lower lane at unchanged speed/size.
Use ordinary correction and accessible direction cards while keeping field, duration and display fixed.
Qualified help is required for
Assessing new motion distortion, oscillopsia, dizziness, neurological/eye symptoms or real-world motion difficulty.
Using motion perception for driving, road crossing, machinery, sport, mobility or return-to-work decisions.
Changing vestibular/visual rehabilitation, lenses, medication or display aids from the clip result.
Never do this from the page alone
Slow, replay or add a trail to hard clips, or compare the 10-mm transfer after changing disk speed/size.
Use moving vehicles/people as stimuli or call clip accuracy proof of safe traffic judgement.
Continue when clips provoke nausea, vertigo, headache, eye pain, new visual motion or loss of postural control.
2 · Get ready
Gather what you need and check the starting conditions
What you need
An exact clip recipe for a helper using a slide-animation or video tool. On a 160×120 mm white field, a 12 mm black disk travels 80 mm in a straight line over exactly 1,000 ms, starting and ending 40 mm on either side of the field centre. Export four centre-lane masters: left L, right R, up U and down D, with no label, trail or sound. Duplicate masters under neutral filenames to make Set A L,R,U,D,R,D,L,U,U,L,D,R,D,U,R,L and Set B D,L,R,U,U,R,D,L,R,U,L,D,L,D,U,R; keep those folded keys from the learner. A transfer set may move the whole 80 mm path 10 mm lower while retaining duration, disk, field and direction balance; even the vertical disk then stays inside the 120 mm field.
One fixed display at a marked distance and refresh setting.
Ordinary visual correction.
Trial sheet and pause control.
Before you start
Use comfortable brightness and a seated stable position.
Record display, refresh rate, window size, distance and correction.
Do not use flashing, high-speed or immersive motion if it provokes migraine, vertigo or seizures.
Agree to stop at nausea, dizziness, headache, aura or visual discomfort.
3 · The method
Follow these steps in order
Lock the display
Keep device, refresh, window size, distance and brightness unchanged.
Why: Motion appearance depends on display timing and geometry.
Check: The configuration card is complete.
Learn direction labels
View one obvious example in each allowed direction and practise the answer controls.
Why: Response confusion should not count as perception error.
Check: All obvious examples are labelled correctly.
Start each clip yourself
Begin one clip when ready and watch it once without scrubbing or replay unless the rule permits.
Why: Self-start reduces surprise while preserving one exposure.
Check: Each trial has the declared number of plays.
Commit direction and confidence
Choose the motion direction and confidence before revealing the key.
Why: A committed response preserves uncertainty and error data.
Check: Answer and confidence are timestamped before feedback.
Use specific feedback
Reveal the correct direction and replay once only when the training rule allows, looking for the directional cue.
Why: One controlled replay teaches the error without turning the item into memory.
Check: Replay status is recorded.
Mix speed and location carefully
After stable baseline, use a new set that changes only speed or screen location—not both.
Why: One changed feature tests near transfer cleanly.
Check: The changed feature is named and all others stay fixed.
Rest and retest novel clips
After at least 48 hours, run unfamiliar clips at the baseline configuration before any feedback.
Why: Delayed novel performance tests retention better than repeating old clips.
Check: No old clip appears in the retest.
Build a direction-confusion table
At the end of the set, place true direction on the rows and chosen direction on the columns. Mark clip speed and screen location beside each miss, then look for one repeated confusion before selecting feedback.
Why: A total percent correct hides whether the learner reverses one axis, misses one speed band or struggles only in a peripheral location.
Check: The table contains every true/chosen pair and identifies one repeated pattern or states that errors are scattered.
4 · Worked example
See the whole method used once
Scenario
Niko uses the 16 supplied Set A clips on one monitor, with L/R/U/D as the four answers.
Walkthrough
Niko records monitor, 60 Hz refresh, 70 cm distance, window size and brightness.
They practise one obvious clip in each of the four directions.
They view each baseline clip once, commit direction/confidence and then check.
A second set changes location but not speed; nausea remains zero.
Two days later they run novel clips before feedback and compare accuracy and confidence.
Niko’s table shows that both errors were rightward clips shown low on the screen, so the next matched set changes location while keeping speed and direction balance fixed.
Result
Niko improves on unfamiliar clips at the same configuration. The result is task-specific direction learning, not enhanced real-world motion vision. The axis-specific table supports a precise transfer test instead of the vague claim that all motion perception improved.
5 · Right and wrong

Why it matters
Exposure
Use one declared play before answering.
Replay until the direction is obvious.
Repeated exposure changes the task.
Configuration
Keep refresh, size and distance fixed.
Switch phones or window sizes between trials.
Display changes alter apparent motion.
Transfer
Change one feature at a time on novel clips.
Change speed, direction set and location together.
A multi-change failure cannot be interpreted.
Symptoms
Pause and stop for nausea, aura or dizziness.
Treat discomfort as adaptation training.
Provoking symptoms is not the goal.
Claim
Report direction accuracy for this clip set.
Call it globally faster visual processing.
Perceptual learning is often specific.
Error analysis
Compare true and chosen direction by axis, speed and location.
Pool every miss into “slow visual processing”.
Specific confusion patterns suggest a testable next clip set; a global label does not.
6 · Common mistakes
Spot the error and apply the correction
Common mistakes and corrections
Mistake
Fix
Replay until the direction is obvious.
Use one declared play before answering.
Switch phones or window sizes between trials.
Keep refresh, size and distance fixed.
Change speed, direction set and location together.
Change one feature at a time on novel clips.
Treat discomfort as adaptation training.
Pause and stop for nausea, aura or dizziness.
Call it globally faster visual processing.
Report direction accuracy for this clip set.
The learner practises only the direction that was missed, making the next order predictable.
Keep all directions balanced and change only the implicated speed or location feature in a concealed order.
7 · Practice
Turn the steps into a usable skill
First session
A helper builds the four 1,000 ms disk-motion masters, duplicates them in concealed Set A and Set B orders and verifies that every direction appears four times.
Record display, refresh, 70 cm distance, 160×120 mm field size, brightness and symptom baseline; practise one unscored L/R/U/D master.
Run all 16 Set A clips once each, committing direction and confidence before the helper checks the folded key.
Build the true-by-chosen table and replay only one example of the most common confusion under the declared feedback rule.
After at least 48 hours, run concealed Set B at the unchanged centre location before feedback.
Only then test the 10 mm-lower transfer set, keeping speed, field, disk and direction counts fixed.
Repeat plan
Use one short set once or twice weekly. Progress to a single changed feature only after novel baseline clips are accurate and symptom-free.
Progress when
Novel-clip accuracy rises at fixed configuration.
Confidence becomes calibrated to errors.
One-feature transfer appears without symptoms.
Do not progress when
Display timing or geometry changes.
Symptoms appear or persist after the screen stops.
The task is being used as diagnosis or mobility clearance.
8 · Check the result
Measure what changed
L/R/U/D direction accuracy and confusion pattern for the supplied 1,000 ms moving-disk clips
How: Record correct direction, confusion pair, confidence, replay, clip feature, display configuration and symptom rating. Add a true-direction by chosen-direction confusion table and stratify misses by the one declared transfer feature.
Good result: Accuracy improves on a novel delayed set without more replay, overconfidence or symptoms.
This does not prove: Declare motion type, speed, coherence, direction, retinal location and threshold method; do not equate one motion threshold with optic flow, pursuit or reaction speed.
Self-check
Can you demonstrate “Learn direction labels”? All obvious examples are labelled correctly.
Can you demonstrate “Commit direction and confidence”? Answer and confidence are timestamped before feedback.
Can you demonstrate “Rest and retest novel clips”? No old clip appears in the retest.
Can you point to the exact direction pair, speed band and location associated with the most common miss?
9 · Stop, adapt or get help
Keep the safety boundary practical
Stop and get help
Stop immediately for migraine aura, seizure warning, vertigo, nausea, severe headache or persistent visual disturbance.
Seek urgent care for sudden new motion-induced neurological symptoms or acute vision loss.
Seek qualified assessment when motion sensitivity affects walking, driving or daily function.
Accessibility and adaptations
Use large direction buttons, speech or switches; motor speed is not scored.
Reduce clip count and add longer rests without changing clip parameters.
Use non-immersive, windowed clips and preserve ordinary correction.
10 · Evidence and limits
Why these instructions are here
primary research
Primary research supports learning on defined motion-direction tasks and directly tests transfer conditions.
Declare motion type, speed, coherence, direction, retinal location and threshold method; do not equate one motion threshold with optic flow, pursuit or reaction speed.
Unsupported claim: Bullet-time vision.
Unsupported claim: Track anything at any speed.
Unsupported claim: Train motion perception to prevent every collision.
Clip performance does not diagnose motion blindness, establish safe driving or generalise to all speeds, displays and environments.
