- Abstract : Motion detection in humans is based on luminance differences, now shown likely to be processed by a specialized set of cone cells, separate from the cone cells that process color. Humans appear to have evolved a mechanism analogous to that proposed for the double cones of other vertebrates, lost as vision simplified in our nocturnal ancestors.
