Functional properties of neurons in middle temporal visual area of the macaque monkey. I. Selectivity for stimulus direction, speed, and orientation
TLDR
The presence of both direction and speed selectivity in MT of the macaque suggests that this area is more specialized for the analysis of visual motion than has been previously recognized.Abstract:
1. Recordings were made from single units in the middle temporal visual area (MT) of anesthetized, paralyzed macaque monkeys. A computer-driven stimulator was used to make quantitative tests of sel...read more

Functional Roles of 10 Hz Alpha-Band Power Modulating Engagement and Disengagement of Cortical Networks in a Complex Visual Motion Task
TL;DR: These findings suggest a decoupling of the 10 Hz frequency into separate functional roles: sensory inhibition in the visual processing regions and spatial attention in the frontoparietal regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated artificial vision framework for assisting visually impaired users
TL;DR: A conceptual framework inspired by biological vision which integrates low-level vision functionalities oriented to actions - typical of the so-called "where" dorsal pathway - with identification and recognition capabilities - common to the "what" ventral pathway is presented.

Biases of motion perception revealed by reversing gratings in humans who had infantile‐onset strabismus
TL;DR: The asymmetries of motion perception in early‐onset strabismus imply that the visual motion neurons of cerebral cortex develop properly only if they receive normal binocular input during infancy.

Topographical analysis of motion-triggered visual-evoked potentials in man.
Yasushi Nakamura,Kenji Ohtsuka +1 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that N150 represents the activity of the area MT in the human visual cortex related to motion perception.

A network model for the optic flow computation of the MST neurons
TL;DR: Experimental results with real image data show that the network model is able to detect the location of the COM in the optic flow field and the behaviours of the output nodes of the networks resemble closely the known responsive properties of the MST neurons found neurophysiologically.

Receptive fields and functional architecture of monkey striate cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: The striate cortex was studied in lightly anaesthetized macaque and spider monkeys by recording extracellularly from single units and stimulating the retinas with spots or patterns of light, with response properties very similar to those previously described in the cat.

Silver Staining of Myelin by Means of Physical Development
TL;DR: For staining myelin with silver a physical development technique has been devised that can render visible the thinnest fibers in various animal species, including fishes and reptiles, even in the early phase of myelination and may be applied to both frozen and embedded materials.
