# More is not always better

## MotionClouds¶

MotionClouds are random dynamic stimuli optimized to study motion perception.

Notably, this method was used in the following paper:

• Claudio Simoncini, Laurent U. Perrinet, Anna Montagnini, Pascal Mamassian, Guillaume S. Masson. More is not always better: dissociation between perception and action explained by adaptive gain control. Nature Neuroscience, 2012 URL

In this notebook, we describe the scripts used to generate such stimuli.

# The Vancouver set

I have heard Vancouver can get foggy and cloudy in the winter. Here, I will provide some examples of realistic simulations of it...

This stimulation was used in the following poster presented at VSS:
