WHAT DOES AUTOKINESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Autokinetic effect

The autokinetic effect is a phenomenon of visual perception in which a stationary, small point of light in an otherwise dark or featureless environment appears to move. It was first recorded by a Russian officer keeping watch who observed illusory movement of a star near the horizon. It presumably occurs because motion perception is always relative to some reference point. In darkness or in a featureless environment there is no reference point, so the movement of the single point is undefined. The direction of the movements does not appear to be correlated with the involuntary eye movements, but may be determined by errors between eye position and that specified by efference copy of the movement signals sent to the extraocular muscles. The amplitude of the movements is also undefined. Individual observers set their own frames of reference to judge amplitude. Because the phenomenon is labile, it has been used to show the effects of social influence or suggestion on judgements.

Definition of autokinesis in the English dictionary
