Realists will argue that it is not very plausible to analyse the perceived motion in terms of momentary motion-free perceptual experiences accompanied memories of motion, but it is significantly less plausible if the relevant memories, rather than being truly dynamic, are themselves composed of entirely static images.
— once more sent cool fingers through his lower gut, and he caught himself in a momentary swooning motion that he concealed behind a contented sigh.
However, painting's greatest strength lies in its stasis, its capacity to produce the coup d'oeil, the momentary freezing of this motion.
The projects of the C&SF have been characterized as part of "crisis and response" cycles that "ignored the consequence for the full system, assumed certainty of the future, and succeeded in solving the momentary crisis, but set in motion conditions that exaggerate future crises".
Perhaps our ordinary experience of motion does, after all, consist of nothing but momentary static snapshots – in accord with Cinematic antirealism – but these momentary experiences seem dynamic thanks to the activation of the 'pure motion' mechanism in our visual system.
Cinematic realists hold that all our experiences of change are the product of gap-free successions of momentary stream-phases, each possessing momentary – and static, motion-free – phenomenal contents.
In that respect, painters held the mimetic advantage, and a lot of nineteenth-century painting, from Turner and Constable through the Impressionists, tries to capture the momentary and the evanescent, the sense of life suspended in motion.
The rapid motion can also cause fringe wash-out and momentary loss of intensity in the reflectance image (f247).
The results show that these qualitative methods respond to the different dimensions by combinations of momentary and long-term thermal perception research in stationary mode and in motion in varying spatial environments.
Regardless: Now you are armed with a fun fact to know and tell on your next road trip, an at least momentary distraction for yourself or your fellow passengers from the misery of motion sickness.
What the latter needs is an account of how successions of momentary conscious states, each possessing entirely static contents, can give rise to the experience of motion.
