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

Foggy perception slows us down
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that perceived speed depends on the spatial distribution of contrast over the visual scene rather than the global level of contrast per se, casting new light on how reduced visibility conditions affect perceived speed.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the extrastriate mechanisms underlying the perception of global motion are different, at least in part, for first- versus second-order signals and for slower versus faster speeds.

A neural model of high-level motion processing: Line motion and formotion dynamics
TL;DR: A neural model is developed that qualitatively explains essentially all the data reported thus far, and quantitatively simulates key illustrative percepts, and suggests how these data arise from neural mechanisms of preattentive boundary and surface formation, long-range apparent motion, formotion interactions, and spatial attention.

Sensorimotor Cognition and Natural Language Syntax
TL;DR: Knott as mentioned in this paper argues that the syntax of a concrete sentence can be interpreted as a description of sensorimotor processes, and that many of the syntactic principles understood in Minimalism as encoding innate linguistic knowledge are actually sensor-imotor in origin.

A moving bump in a continuous manifold: A comprehensive study of the tracking dynamics of continuous attractor neural networks
TL;DR: This study investigates the tracking dynamics of continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs) by using the wave functions of the quantum harmonic oscillator as the basis and develops a perturbation approach that utilizes the dominating movement of the network's stationary states in the state space.

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.
