Segmentation has different temporal integration. Even a weak signal embedded in noise can be seen given a long enough view
Spatial summation of contrast sensitivity of sinusoidsAnderson and Burr, 1987
Interim Conclusions There exists psychophysical evidence for detectors tuned to complex optical flow. Evidence suggest that the detectors are “second-stage” after contrast thresholding. Temporal summation is extensive: ~ 3 sec. Spatial summation is extensive, ~ 70°.

Adult plasticity: paraplegia affects perception of “biological motion” The mirror system? (Giacomo Rizzolatti)
Sensitivity impaired for biological motion but not contrast sensitivity for orientation Controls Patients Arrighi et al., Current Biol. (2011)
Paraplegic sensitivity worse for visual motion, especially biological motion Arrighi et al., Current Biol. (2011)
The results point to shared neural circuits for production and perception of movement – the mirror system?
