How we perceptually experience temporal properties and relations of dynamic events,
such as motion, is widely discussed among philosophers of temporal experience. The classical
answers largely draw on the representation of a dynamic event as a series of instantaneous static
contents. In particular, the specious present, a temporal unit of conscious experience, is often
assumed, within which static instantaneous contents are temporally integrated and imbued with
dynamic phenomenality, such as visual flow of motion. Challenging this specious present theory
(SP), the dynamic snapshot theory (DS) proposes that instantaneous content appears dynamic,
termed dynamic snapshot, due to preconscious and functionally specialised neural mechanisms.
