Functional neuroimaging of human visual pathways underlying the perception of motion in depth.

Alex Wade, Ph.D. (University of York, UK)

In the middle of the 20th century it was noted that the mathematical operations required to compute motion in depth (MID) from binocular inputs can be executed in two different sequences. One sequence computes the rate of change of retinal disparity ('changing disparity', CD). The other sequence computes the disparity of two monocular velocity signals ('inter-ocular velocity difference, IOVD). In this talk, I present recent work from my lab examining the functional specializations of these two pathways as well as their computational time courses and anatomical substrates.
