Perception of three-dimensional structure from motion in monkey and man

摘要: Information on motion is important for the determination of three-dimensional (3-D) structure environment both human and non-human primates1–8. For example, if a person were to close one eye look at an evenly illuminated, irregularly shaped object, he would be unlikely guess its shape correctly. But object moved about, correct immediately becomes apparent9. Little known about how primate visual system actually does this, although various theories have been proposed7,8,10–15. We developed novel, highly controlled stimuli use with psychophysical physiological techniques study 3-D obtained from motion. show that Rhesus monkey can detect in same way as subjects. Furthermore, dependence species certain parameters display shows information integrated spatially temporally this higher function.
