Dimming or brightening regions superimposed, slightly out of register, on static light or dark blobs, give rise to apparent motion. When these regions are replaced by apparent brightening or dimming produced by ramp aftereffects, a directional motion aftereffect is perceived. It is concluded that filters sensitive to temporal derivative signals of net brightening or dimming provide an input into the motion pathways.
