TI  - Simultaneity in the Ternus configuration: psychophysical data and a computer 
      model.
PG  - 397-407
AB  - The Ternus configuration is an apparent motion display which is typically 
      described as being bistable; subjects usually describe seeing either element 
      motion or group motion, depending upon temporal properties of the display. The 
      results of an experiment are reported in which subjects are also permitted to 
      report seeing four stationary display elements (simultaneity). It was found that 
      simultaneity was produced when both frame durations and interstimulus intervals 
      (ISIs) were brief. A weaker than expected effect of stimulus onset asynchrony 
      (SOA) was revealed because this third type of judgment was obtained. Furthermore, 
      statistical analyses indicated that SOA was not by itself the best predictor of 
      judgment type. The interaction between duration and ISI was also an important 
      predictor. This suggested that a complete account of the Ternus configuration 
      requires two mechanisms: a visible persistence mechanism, governed by an SOA law, 
      and a motion correspondence mechanism, governed by an ISI law. These two 
      mechanisms were added to Dawson's (1991) [Psychological Review, 98, 569-603] 
      autoassociative network for motion correspondence processing. The resulting model 
      could generate each of the three interpretations of the Ternus configuration at 
      appropriate combinations of frame duration and ISI.
