The location of human area V5 (or MT) has been correlated with the intersection of the ascending limb of the inferior temporal sulcus (ALITS) and the lateral occipital sulcus (LO). This study was… (More)
The "motion-blind" patient previously described by Zihl et al. (1983) was investigated using standard psychophysical procedures with stimuli whose spatial and temporal properties could be separately… (More)
Single-unit neurophysiology and human psychophysics have begun to reveal distinct neural mechanisms for processing visual stimuli defined by differences in contrast or texture (second-order motion)… (More)
A neurological patient (L.M.) suffering a specific loss of visual motion perception (Zihl et al., 1983) due to extrastriate cortical damage was studied using random dot "limited-lifetime" stimuli… (More)
The maximum displacement for the detection of apparent motion (Dmax) is measured using stimuli made up of Gabor function micro-patterns randomly distributed across the stimulus field. Previous… (More)
We have investigated motion mechanisms in central and perifoveal vision using two-frame random Gabor kinematograms with isoluminant red-green or luminance stimuli. In keeping with previous results,… (More)
Object boundaries in the natural environment are often defined by changes in luminance; in other cases, however, there may be no difference in average luminance across the boundary, which is instead… (More)
Evidence bearing on the question of whether first-order and second-order motion are detected by use of the same or different principles has been sought. This question was approached by measuring… (More)
We compared electroretinographic (ERG) responses to uniform-field and a variety of pattern stimuli using both transient and steady-state analyses. Evidence is provided that for all of these stimuli,… (More)
Previous research has demonstrated two categorically distinct mechanisms mediating apparent motion of kinematograms composed of eccentricity-confined, randomly placed Gabor micropatterns: a… (More)
