    Figure 1.

    Schematics of experimental methods. A, The clock. The fixation dot, the second hand, and the rim circle of our stimulus were presented continuously throughout the trial to avoid the flash-lag effect (Kanai et al., 2009). B, Schematic of Experiment 1. C, Schematic of Experiment 2. D, Schematic of Experiment 3.
