Abstract
Area MSTd, part of the visual motion pathway in monkey cortex, contains cells that respond selectively to various large-field, random-dot, optic flow patterns [2] [9] [12]. It receives major input from area MT which contains cells directionally selective for local motions. An earlier network model proposes a way to achieve the visual response properties of MSTd neurons from the output of MT -like neurons [5] and links these properties to the psychophysics of human heading detection from optic flow [6] [7]. However, human heading detection has been shown to sometimes depend on non-visual eye movement information [11] [13] [14], and area MSTd has been found to contain extraretinal eye movement [8] as well as eye position [1] information.
