Motion detection thresholds with a stationary frame of reference are significantly lower than unreferenced motion thresholds. To account for this, previous studies have postulated the existence of compensatory mechanisms, driven by the presence of a surround, that cancel the effects of eye movements. In the present study we used an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) to investigate the effects of retinal jitter due to fixation eye movements on referenced and unreferenced motion thresholds.
