Responses of Anterior Superior Temporal Polysensory (STPa) Neurons to "Biological Motion" Stimuli.
Abstract Cells have been found in the superior temporal polysensory area (STPa) of the macaque temporal cortex that are selectively responsive to the sight of particular whole body movements (e.g., walking) under normal lighting. These cells typically discriminate the direction of walking and the view of the body (e.g., left profile walking left). We investigated the extent to which these cells...
متن کاملOptic flow selectivity in the anterior superior temporal polysensory area, STPa, of the behaving monkey.
Earlier studies of neurons in the anterior region of the superior temporal polysensory area (STPa) have demonstrated selectivity for visual motion using stimuli contaminated by nonmotion cues, including texture, luminance, and form. The present experiments investigated the motion selectivity of neurons in STPa in the absence of form cues using random dot optic flow displays. The responses of ne...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure-from-motion selectivity in the anterior superior temporal polysensory area, STPa, of the behaving monkey.
Human and non-human primates are able to perceive three-dimensional structure from motion displays. Three-dimensional structure-from-motion (object-motion) displays were used to test the hypothesis that neurons in the anterior division of the superior temporal polysensory area (STPa) of monkeys can selectively respond to three-dimensional structure-from-motion. Monkeys performed a reaction time...
متن کاملResponses of neurons in the medial superior temporal visual area to apparent motion stimuli in macaque monkeys.
Monkeys fixated a stationary spot during presentation of dot textures that moved in apparent motion defined by the spatial and temporal separations, Deltax and Deltat, between successive flashes of each dot. For each neuron, we assessed the speed tuning for smooth motion (Deltat = 2 or 4 ms) at speeds < or =128 degrees /s and the effect of varying the value of Deltat at speeds of 16 and 32 degr...
متن کاملBoth striate cortex and superior colliculus contribute to visual properties of neurons in superior temporal polysensory area of macaque monkey.
Although the tectofugal system projects to the primate cerebral cortex by way of the pulvinar, previous studies have failed to find any physiological evidence that the superior colliculus influences visual activity in the cortex. We studied the relative contributions of the tectofugal and geniculostriate systems to the visual properties of neurons in the superior temporal polysensory area (STP)...
