Zeitraffer phenomenon vs. akinetopsia


The Zeitraffer phenomenon is the altered perception of the speed of moving objects.

 

The Zeitraffer phenomenon probably arises from dysfunction of brain networks subserving visual perception of speed.

 

It shares characteristics with akinetopsia, the loss of visual ability to perceive motion.
