Neural correlates of perceptual motion coherence
Article Abstract:
Visual cortex neurons display alterations in direction tuning which indicate that perception of noncoherent motion can be improved. Experiments with rhesus monkeys were carried out involving the perception of single moving 'plaid patterns,' representing coherent motion, and two component gratings sliding past each other, representing noncoherent motion. The finding that perception of noncoherent motion can become more sensitive may overturn theories of cortical visual processing that are unable to explain the role of figural image segmentation.
