Paucity of chromatic linear motion detectors in macaque V1.
The motion of a color-defined edge is often more difficult to perceive than the motion of a luminance-defined edge. Neurons subserving motion vision may therefore be particularly sensitive to luminance contrast. One class of neurons thought to play a critical role in motion perception is V1 neurons whose spatiotemporal receptive fields are oriented in space-time. We used the reverse correlation...
متن کاملColor contrast in macaque V1.
We explored the neural basis for spatial color contrast (red looks redder surrounded by green) and temporal color contrast (red looks redder if preceded by green) in primary visual cortex (V1) of the alert macaque. Using pairs of stimuli, we found a subset of neurons that gave stronger responses to sequences of red and green spots and stronger responses to adjacent red and green spots. These ce...
متن کاملMechanisms of Direction Selectivity in Macaque V1
Mechanisms underlying direction selectivity were studied in V1 of alert fixating macaque monkeys. Some direction-selective cells showed delayed asymmetric inhibition, some showed a shifting excitatory time course across the receptive field, and some showed both. Both the direction of the spatial offset of the inhibition and the direction of the shift in excitatory response time course correlate...
متن کاملAbsence of a chromatic linear motion mechanism in human vision
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, we find that performance dominated by a linear motion mechanism is obtained using high densities of micropatterns and small temporal intervals between frames, while nonlinear performance is found wit...
متن کاملChromatic mechanisms in striate cortex of macaque.
We measured the responses of 305 neurons in striate cortex to moving sinusoidal gratings modulated in chromaticity and luminance about a fixed white point. Stimuli were represented in a 3-dimensional color space defined by 2 chromatic axes and a third along which luminance varied. With rare exceptions the chromatic properties of cortical neurons were well described by a linear model in which th...
