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

Discrimination of global-motion signal strength
Mark Edwards,David R. Badcock +1 more
TL;DR: The ability of observers to discriminate differences in global-motion-signal strength (that is the proportion of coherently moving dots in a field of randomly moving dots) was determined for both first and second-order stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of monocular depth cues on the detection of moving objects by moving observers.
TL;DR: This work found that thresholds for detection of object motion decreased as the authors increased the number of depth cues available to the observer, in the form of monocular depth cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of adaptation direction on the motion VEP and perceived speed of drifting gratings
TL;DR: A model of velocity processing is presented, which enables us to predict the trends of the experimental motion VEP and perceived speed data.

Saliency from orthogonal velocity component in texture segregation.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that speed-based segmentation operating on V(perpendicular) not only affects speed and direction of motion discrimination, as previously demonstrated, but accounts for high saliency of image features that would otherwise prove undetectable of the basis of orientation-contrast.

Cognitive, Systems, and Computational Neurosciences of the Self in Motion
TL;DR: A review of visual and vestibular pathways involved in path integration can be found in this paper , where the human and theoretical approaches that have outlined a normative account of cue combination in behavior and neurons, as well as on the systems neuroscience efforts that are searching for its neural implementation.

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.
