Perceptual mislocalization of bouncing balls by professional tennis referees
Current Biology Volume 18 (Issue 20):R947-R949.
The perceived position of a moving object depends on the object's motion and the motion of other objects in the scene [[1]]. Here, we report a real-world example of how this causes a perceptual error for professional tennis referees, which players could exploit to their advantage.
