How MT cells analyze the motion of visual patterns

NC Rust, V Mante, EP Simoncelli, JA Movshon - Nature neuroscience, 2006 - nature.com
Neurons in area MT (V5) are selective for the direction of visual motion. In addition, many
are selective for the motion of complex patterns independent of the orientation of their …

Motion integration by neurons in macaque MT is local, not global

NJ Majaj, M Carandini, JA Movshon - Journal of Neuroscience, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Direction-selective neurons in primary visual cortex have small receptive fields that encode
the motions of local features. These motions often differ from the motion of the object to …

Pattern-motion responses in human visual cortex

AC Huk, DJ Heeger - Nature neuroscience, 2002 - nature.com
Physiological models of visual motion processing posit that'pattern-motion cells' represent
the direction of moving objects independent of their particular spatial pattern. We performed …

The response of area MT and V1 neurons to transparent motion

RJ Snowden, S Treue, RG Erickson… - Journal of …, 1991 - Soc Neuroscience
An important use of motion information is to segment a complex visual scene into surfaces
and objects. Transparent motions present a particularly difficult problem for segmentation …

A three-dimensional spatiotemporal receptive field model explains responses of area MT neurons to naturalistic movies

S Nishimoto, JL Gallant - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Area MT has been an important target for studies of motion processing. However, previous
neurophysiological studies of MT have used simple stimuli that do not contain many of the …

A class of visual neurons with wide-field properties is required for local motion detection

YE Fisher, JCS Leong, K Sporar, MD Ketkar, DM Gohl… - Current Biology, 2015 - cell.com
Visual motion cues are used by many animals to guide navigation across a wide range of
environments. Long-standing theoretical models have made predictions about the …

Selectivity of macaque MT/V5 neurons for surface orientation in depth specified by motion

DK Xiao, VL Marcar, SE Raiguel… - European Journal of …, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
Area MT/V5 in the macaque brain is one of the major cortical regions involved in the
analysis of retinal image motion. The majority of the neurons in this cortical area have non …

Spatiotopic selectivity of BOLD responses to visual motion in human area MT

G d'Avossa, M Tosetti, S Crespi, L Biagi, DC Burr… - Nature …, 2007 - nature.com
Many neurons in the monkey visual extrastriate cortex have receptive fields that are affected
by gaze direction. In humans, psychophysical studies suggest that motion signals may be …

Dynamics of motion signaling by neurons in macaque area MT

MA Smith, NJ Majaj, JA Movshon - Nature neuroscience, 2005 - nature.com
Most neurons in macaque area MT are selective for the direction of stimulus motion. By
comparing direction selectivity for gratings and plaids, we classified MT neurons as pattern …

Temporal dynamics of a neural solution to the aperture problem in visual area MT of macaque brain

CC Pack, RT Born - Nature, 2001 - nature.com
A critical step in the interpretation of the visual world is the integration of the various local
motion signals generated by moving objects. This process is complicated by the fact that …
