perception of motion

Perception of motion refers to how we detect movement in our surroundings. Our brains use information from our eyes, inner ears, and body to interpret whether something is moving, stationary, or changing speed. Important cues include changes in position, the speed of objects, and depth perception. For example, when a car passes by, we notice its motion by the way it shifts position relative to stationary objects around it. This ability helps us navigate our environment, avoid obstacles, and interact with moving objects, making it essential for daily activities and safety.
