er, and that dominant eye adaptation will also yield a higher magnitude than non-dominant eye adaptation.SubjectsThere were a total of 34 subjects. All subjects (male and female) were students of the University of Dundee participating in a projects meeting.Materials and ProcedureOn arrival at the projects meeting, all subjects were briefed on the theories of motion adaptation and motion after-effect (MAE) and their relevance to the physiology of the visual cortex. The experiment required subjects to be tested for sight dominance using the ‘hole in the card’ test. From this, sight dominance is reported in either left or right eye. Subjects are subsequently tested for MAE’s using random sequences of the four testing conditions. These 4 testing conditions are the two viewing conditions (Monocular and interocular transfer) utilising each of the eye adaptations (dominant and non-dominant) in both conditions. In order to measure the length of the MAE in each condition; the subject is seated about 1 metre from a spiral-patterned disc, which they are to observe while the disc rotates and while it is stopped until the MAE ceases. The disc rotates at an angular velocity of about 60 degrees per second for 30 seconds (per eye adaptation). The disc stops immediately on 30 seconds. A timing device (i.e. stopwatch) measures the length of each of the 4 randomly sequenced MAE conditions. Under each condition, subjects are to perform viewing of a spiral patterned disc in motion and then the same patterned disc is to be viewed stationary with one eye only. Eye occlusion is achieved by covering the non-adaptation-tested eye with one hand. All subjects then participate in the experiment adhering to the guidelines and the experiment concludes once the experimenter collates all magnitude scores. Summary of Statistical ResultsMean MAE magnitudes (seconds) and their S.D.’s for each Viewing condition are shown in Table 1. Tabl...
