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

How stereovision interacts with optic flow perception: neural mechanisms
Markus Lappe,Antje Grigo +1 more
TL;DR: Testing several hypotheses by introducing different disparity contributions in a detailed neurobiological model of optic flow processing in monkey cortex suggests a specific contribution of a subset of stereoscopically modulated cortical neurons present in areas MT and MST.

Normalization of neuronal responses in cortical area MT across signal strengths and motion directions
TL;DR: The results suggest that competition between multiple stimuli within a neuron's RF depends on relative signal strengths of the stimuli and that multiplicative nonlinearity may play an important role in shaping the response tuning for multiple stimuli.

Visual evoked potentials elicited by a moving unidimensional noise pattern
TL;DR: Recordings of motion onset and offset visual evoked potentials were recorded in normal human subjects using a unidimensional noise pattern moving at 1, 8 and 64 degrees/s to study the morphology of the motion response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feature integration within and across visual streams occurs at different visual processing stages.
TL;DR: It is found that increasing the speed of one or both surfaces reduced direction repulsion, and this results suggest that motion processing integrates speed and direction prior to forming an object representation that includes ventral stream features such as color.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical neuroimaging during auditory motion aftereffects reveals that auditory motion processing is motion sensitive but not direction selective.
TL;DR: The collective results suggest that auditory motion processing relies on motion-sensitive, but, in contrast to vision, non-direction-selective mechanisms.

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.
