TL;DR: The selectivity for view suggests that the neural operations underlying face or head recognition rely on parallel analyses of different characteristic views of the head, the outputs of these view-specific analyses being subsequently combined to support view-independent (object-centred) recognition.

TL;DR: The cell responses provide direct evidence for neural mechanisms computing form from nonrigid motion and the selectivity of the cells was for body view, specific direction, and specific type of body motion presented by moving light displays and is not predicted by many current computational approaches to the extraction of form from motion.

TL;DR: A neuronal population in the anterior part of the superior temporal polysensory area (STPa) both sensitive to form (heads and bodies) and selective for motion direction is reported, showing that the response of some of these cells is selective for both the motion and the form of a single object, not simply the juxtaposition of appropriate form and motion signals.

TL;DR: It is argued that the fast rise in firing rate, followed by a decay to a lower rate and the very fast emergence of discrimination are features of pattern processing present in real neural systems that are lacking in many processing models based on artificial networks of neuronlike elements.

TL;DR: Results suggest that neurons in the STS form multisensory representations of observed actions, and this work investigates whether STS neurons coding the sight of actions also integrated the sound of those actions.
