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

Amodal representation of occluded surfaces: role of invisible stimuli in apparent motion correspondence.
Shinsuke Shimojo,Ken Nakayama +1 more
TL;DR: A series of demonstrations were created where the perceived depth of targets was controlled by stereoscopic disparity, suggesting that amodal contours have a neural representation at sufficiently early stages of visual processing to alter the correspondence solving process for apparent motion.

Pursuit Is Impaired but the Vestibulo-ocular Reflex Is Normal in Infantile Strabismus
TL;DR: Patients with infantile strabismus have a defect of cerebral pursuit control, and vestibulo-ocular reflexes were normal during rotation at 0.3 Hz in the dark.

Parietal cortical neurons responding to rotary movement of visual stimulus in space.
TL;DR: A group of neurons that were specifically sensitive to the rotation of a visual stimulus were found in the posterior parietal association cortex of alert monkeys, and may be related directly to the perception of rotation of visual objects in space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical analysis of motion-opponent mechanisms used in the determination of heading and depth.
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical analysis is presented of a model that uses motion-opponent operators similar to neurons found in the primate middle temporal visual area, to determine observer heading and depth from optical flow information.

Adaptive Surround Modulation in Cortical Area MT
TL;DR: The results suggest that the dominance of antagonistic modulation in previous MT studies was due to stimulus choice and that segmentation and integration are achieved, in part, via adaptive surround modulation.

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.
