Two experiments were conducted to test the effect of changes in motoric activity on the thresholds for CFF and apparent motion. The main findings were that an increase (decrease) in motoric activity above (below) the preferred rate delays (fosters) the perception of fusion and simultaneity. These findings were interpreted as giving evidence for the notion that organismic rhythms are critical in the temporal organization of perceptual events.
