Neural mechanisms of speed perception: transparent motion.
Visual motion on the macaque retina is processed by direction- and speed-selective neurons in extrastriate middle temporal cortex (MT). There is strong evidence for a link between the activity of these neurons and direction perception. However, there is conflicting evidence for a link between speed selectivity of MT neurons and speed perception. Here we study this relationship by using a strong...
متن کاملSpeed perception during acceleration and deceleration.
We have recently shown that stimulus acceleration affects subsequent preferred speed and tuning widths of macaque area MT neurons (A. Schlack, B. Krekelberg, & T. D. Albright, 2007). Given the close link between area MT and speed perception, this predicts that speed perception should depend on the acceleration context. Here, we show that this is indeed the case for both speed discrimination and...

When the moving stimulus and the flashed stimulus are physically aligned in space a...
متن کاملInteractions between speed and contrast tuning in the middle temporal area: implications for the neural code for speed.
A car driving through the fog appears to move more slowly than one driving on a clear and sunny day. In the laboratory, this observation has been confirmed as a pronounced reduction of perceived speed caused by a reduction in contrast. We measured the influence of contrast on cells in the middle temporal area (MT) of the macaque, which has been hypothesized to underlie the perception of speed. ...
متن کاملMotion Detection Mechanisms
Synopsis This review discusses theoretical, behavioral, and physiological studies of motion mechanisms. The three main schemes for motion detection (space-time correlation, orientation, and gradients) are contrasted using experimental data from insects, rabbits, cats, monkeys, and humans. These schemes provide a basic understanding of the organization of many neural motion detection systems. Ho...
