Implied motion is defined as extraction of motion information from a stationary photo. With low-level and high-level stimuli, researchers usually employ four paradigms (i.e., freeze-frame, passively viewing, motion aftereffect, and fMRI adaption) to investigate implied motion. The role of attention and awareness in implied motion and the memory representation of implied motion are key issues in previous studies. Researchers also focus on the various activated brain regions engaged in implied motion, including medial temporal cortical areas (MT/MST), superior temporal sulcus, and mirrorneuron system. Future studies are needed to further explore the cognitive and neural mechanisms of implied motion in order to clarify whether motion and form processing in human visual system, especially the neural network for motion from form, are dissociated or integrated.
