Electrophysiological Evidence for Existence of Neurones sensitive to Direction of Depth Movement

RECENT psychophysical evidence suggests that there are movement detectors in the human visual pathway selectively sensitive to different directions of motion in three-dimensional space1–5. In animals (such as the cat) there are single nerve cells with properties which suggest that they signal when an object is moving in depth away from the plane of binocular fixation6.
