    "abstract": "We introduce a novel class of visual illusion -- motion\npareidolia -- in which sequential presentations of random\ntextures can trigger percepts of coherent apparent motion. In\ntwo experiments we presented observers with sequences of\nrandom 140x140 pixel arrays refreshing at 2.5Hz. In\nExperiment 1, observers were primed with a coherent motion\npattern, such as fixed texture shifting up-and-down across\nframes. After 8 priming frames, the textures became\ncompletely random from frame to frame. Participants were\ninstructed to indicate when they could no longer perceive the\nprimed motion pattern. Participants' responses were delayed\nby an average of 6 frames (or 2.4 seconds). In Experiment 2,\nobservers detected motion patterns in 6-frame sequences\nunder different noise levels and falsely identified coherent\nmotion in 39% of the purely random sequences. To account\nfor this phenomenon, we propose a selective visual attention\nprocess that is biased to detect expected motion.",
