Biological motion Flashcards
1
Q
MST neurons
A
Respond selectively to particular motion flow fields, often caused by self-motion. Not just to motion of individual targets.
2
Q
Biological motion
A
We’re quick to recognize motion of species, even if very primitive. The Superior Temporal Sulcus is activated by biological motion
3
Q
Zihl’s motion blind patient
A
Only sees stationary scenes with flasing objects. No motion neurons.
Akinetopsia: bilateral MT MST STS lesion
4
Q
Virtual lesion of MT
A
Can be created using TMS. pulse of electricity doesn’t allow you to see coherent motion
5
Q
Motion wins
A
More important than color, so when it moves you can’t perceive color change.
6
Q
Pathways
A
Dorsal pathway
- Magno dominated, sees parasol cells
Ventral pathway
- Parvo dominated, sees midget cells
