The spatial profile of macaque MT neurons is consistent with Gaussian sampling of logarithmically coordinated visual representation.
Neurons in extrastriate visual areas have large receptive fields (RFs) compared with those in primary visual cortex (V1), suggesting extensive spatial integration. To examine the spatial integration of neurons in area MT, we modeled the RFs of MT neurons based on a symmetrical (Gaussian) integration of V1 outputs and tested the model using single-unit recording in two fixating macaque monkeys. ...
متن کاملThe neural representation of speed in macaque area MT/V5.
Tuning for speed is one key feature of motion-selective neurons in the middle temporal visual area of the macaque cortex (MT, or V5). The present paper asks whether speed is coded in a way that is invariant to the shape of the moving stimulus, and if so, how. When tested with single sine-wave gratings of different spatial and temporal frequencies, MT neurons show a continuum in the degree to wh...
متن کاملSubspace mapping of the three-dimensional spectral receptive field of macaque MT neurons.
Neurons in the middle temporal (MT) visual area are thought to represent the velocity (direction and speed) of motion. Previous studies suggest the importance of both excitation and suppression for creating velocity representation in MT; however, details of the organization of excitation and suppression at the MT stage are not understood fully. In this article, we examine how excitatory and sup...
متن کاملAttention enhances stimulus representations in macaque visual cortex without affecting their signal-to-noise level
The magnitude of the attentional modulation of neuronal responses in visual cortex varies with stimulus contrast. Whether the strength of these attentional influences is similarly dependent on other stimulus properties is unknown. Here we report the effect of spatial attention on responses in the medial-temporal area (MT) of macaque visual cortex to moving random dots pattern of various motion ...
متن کاملReduction in receptive field size of macaque MT neurons in the presence of visual noise.
The visual system faces a trade-off between increased spatial integration of disparate local signals and improved spatial resolution to filter out irrelevant noise. Increased spatial integration is beneficial when signals are weak, whereas increased spatial resolution is particularly beneficial when focusing on a small object in a cluttered natural scene. The receptive field (RF) size of visual...
