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

The Minimum Temporal Thresholds for Motion Detection of Grating Patterns
TL;DR: The minimum temporal thresholds for absolute motion detection were measured for sinusoidal grating patterns in foveal vision using a simple equation including two constants which indicate temporal and spatial limits.

Therapeutic Effects of Caloric Stimulation and Optokinetic Stimulation on Hemispatial Neglect
Sy Moon,Byung Hwa Lee,Duk L. Na +2 more
TL;DR: A review of proposed interventions for hemispatial neglect focused on caloric stimulation and optokinetic stimulation finds that these lateralized or direction-specific stimulations of peripheral sensory systems can temporarily improve hemisPatial neglect.

The barberplaid illusion: plaid motion is biased by elongated apertures
TL;DR: It is concluded that spatial integration of motion signals plays a crucial role in plaid motion perception and that current models must be explicitly expanded to include such spatial interactions.

How to unconfound the directional and orientational information in visual neuron's response
TL;DR: The mathematical tools for this method to calculate the peak angles, bandwidths, and relative strengths, the three most important elements of a tuning curve, of both the orientational and the directional components, based on the experimentally-recorded neuron's response polar-plot are developed.

Distributed and Retinotopically Asymmetric Processingn of Coherent Motion in Mouse Visual Cortex
Kevin K. Sit,Michael J. Goard +1 more
TL;DR: Processing of visual motion in mouse cortex is distributed unevenly across visual areas and exhibits a spatial bias within areas, potentially to support processing of optic flow during spatial navigation.

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.
