Objective To investigate the characteristic of motion perception (MP)
of normal Chinese subjects. Methods MPs were recorded from 56 normal s
ubjects (112 eyes), age ranged from 11 to 68 years, and the MP softwar
e was controlled by PC compatible computer which appeared as the verti
cal bar targets in VGA screen. Results The Mp rates were ascending gra
dually from 10 age-group to 30 age-group as the age increased in the 2
pixels (2P) horizontal motion, and the MP rates were decreasing gradu
ally over 40 age-group, and the MP rates were not affected by the age
in the 4 pixels (4P), 6 pixels (6P) horizontal motion and > 40 Hz flic
k motion. There was no relation between the MP and the sex and the dif
ferent eyes. Conclusions The characteristic of MP of the normal Chines
e subjects was determined and the results provided the normal referenc
e values.
