Visual Cortex: Seeing Motion
What happens in primary visual cortex (V1) when we look at a complex moving image? While motion responses have been investigated thoroughly at the level of single neurons [1–4], studies of motion representation at the level of maps have been restricted to stimuli composed of long bars. These stimuli are inherently ambiguous as to their direction of motion [1]. A recent study by Fitzpatrick and ...
متن کاملSeeing liquids from visual motion
Most research on human visual recognition focuses on solid objects, whose identity is defined primarily by shape. In daily life, however, we often encounter materials that have no specific form, including liquids whose shape changes dynamically over time. Here we show that human observers can recognize liquids and their viscosities solely from image motion information. Using a two-dimensional a...
متن کاملDoes pedestrian useful visual field change at night?
This paper reports an investigation into the shape and size of the useful visual field over which pedestrian visual gaze tends to fall during day and night and discusses the factors affecting useful visual field and the function of peripheral vision. A previous study by authors explored what people look at at night in the streets employing an eye tracking methodology. This study is secondary an...
متن کاملEven moderate visual impairments degrade drivers' ability to see pedestrians at night.
PURPOSE To determine the effect of moderate levels of refractive blur and simulated cataracts on nighttime pedestrian conspicuity in the presence and absence of headlamp glare. METHODS The ability to recognize pedestrians at night was measured in 28 young adults (M = 27.6 years) under three visual conditions: normal vision, refractive blur, and simulated cataracts; mean acuity was 20/40 or be...
متن کاملCerebral infarction does not occur typically at night.
In a hospital-based series of 66 consecutive patients with non-progressive cerebral infarction, the time of onset and the type of infarction on computed tomography were studied retrospectively. Forty-six (78%) patients suffered cerebral infarction between 6 am and 6 pm. Only five patients (8%) had their infarct between midnight and 6 am. Only three patients had a watershed-infarct, and these oc...
