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...

world through the relatively small windows of their receptive fields. This creates a perceptual dilemma known as the ‘aperture problem’, in which the locally ambiguous views of individual cells must be resolved into higher-order percepts that are consistent with the whole. When cells in V1 see a moving plaid (grid), for example, they respond to the direction and orientation of the component lin...
متن کاملVisual Perception: Seeing motion signals in noise
The brain can integrate local motion signals among noise to gain a global perception of visual motion. The scope and limits of this ability may reveal how the inputs to central motion systems are organized.
متن کاملMotion opponency in visual cortex.
Perceptual studies suggest that visual motion perception is mediated by opponent mechanisms that correspond to mutually suppressive populations of neurons sensitive to motions in opposite directions. We tested for a neuronal correlate of motion opponency using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity in human visual cortex. There was strong motion opponency in a se...
