Abstract

Moving stimuli are susceptible to differential processing in visual cortex, either low-level (energy-based) or high-level (feature-based), depending upon their spatial and temporal characteristics. A separate distinction can be made, in terms of the statistical properties of the stimulus itself, between Fourier and non-Fourier stimuli. There have been many studies, using both psychophysical and imaging techniques, on low-level motion processing of both types of stimulus; however, there are considerably fewer data concerning the high-level motion process. With a combination of psychophysics and brain imaging (fMRI), we intend to establish the neural substrates of low- and high-level motion processing in the human brain and the sites of interaction between them. These questions will be addressed separately for the two image types.
