From our daily experience it is very clear that relative motion cues can contribute to correctly identifying object boundaries and for perceiving depth. Motion-defined contours are not only generated by the motion of objects in a scene, but also by the movement of an observer's head and body. However the neural mechanism involved in detecting these contours is still unknown. To explore this mechanism, I extracellularly recorded responses of neurons in Area 18 of anesthetized and paralyzed cats while they were presented with visual stimuli. The goal of this study was to determine if neurons in Area 18 that have been previously shown to detect luminance, texture- and contrast-defined contours cue-invariantly could also detect motion-defined c...
