Apparent motion is the perception of movement in a static image or series of images, created by the brain's interpretation of visual stimuli. This phenomenon is crucial in understanding how humans perceive motion in media such as film and animation, where static frames are presented in rapid succession to create the illusion of continuous movement.

Visual stimuli refer to any objects or events in our environment that elicit a visual response from our sensory system, forming the basis for perception and cognition. Understanding how humans and other organisms process visual stimuli is crucial for fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and design, as it influences behavior and decision-making.
