The small visual area known as MT or V5 has played a major role in our understanding of
the primate cerebral cortex. This area has been historically important in the concept of …

This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

The pattern of local image velocities on the retina encodes important environmental
information. Although humans are generally able to extract this information, they can easily …

PAIN is normally evoked only by stimuli that are sufficiently intense to activate high-threshold
Aδ and C sensory fibres, which relay the signal to the spinal cord. Peripheral inflammation …

The Encyclopedia of Human Behavior, Second Edition, Three Voluime Set is an award-
winning three-volume reference on human action and reaction, and the thoughts, feelings …

Our perception of fine visual detail relies on small receptive fields at early stages of visual
processing. However, small receptive fields tend to confound the orientation and velocity of …

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 …

A neural model is developed of how motion integration and segmentation processes, both
within and across apertures, compute global motion percepts. Figure–ground properties …

How do we see the motion of objects as well as their shapes? The Gaussian Derivative (GD)
spatial model is extended to time to help answer this question. The GD spatio-temporal …

Forty observers participated in a study examining the effect of age on the detection of motion
in central and peripheral vision. Detection of lamellar (Experiment 1) and radial flow …
