Motion Figures 2: Motion perception in MT


fMRI movie of brain activity in V1 and MT. Note that MT activity is much stronger during motion; also note that V1 activity is similar during flicker or motion. [Clicking "RELOAD" on your browser will re-start the movie; if it runs choppy the first time, wait for it to finish, and then reload].


CO stain, and schematic outline of visual areas.


Columnar organization in MT for direction of motion.


Comparison of component and pattern cell responses.


Building a pattern cell from component-cell inputs.


Newsome experimental setup.

Newsome direction-discrimination stimulus.

Newsome result: effect of microstimulation on decisions.


Human MT activity correlated with MAE.
