Mechanismen und Herausforderungen des Bewegungssehens

Abstract

Motion cues are essential to guide animal behavior. The emergence of direction-selective signals, a hallmark of motion vision, has long been considered a paradigmatic computation. The core circuits underlying motion computation have recently been solved. This now allows us to investigate how visual circuits handle dynamic changes in the environment, such as keeping vision stable while encountering fast changes in luminance, or the encoding of complex motion patterns generated by self-motion.
