Neurones in cat parastriate cortex sensitive to the direction of motion in three‐dimensional space

1. On psychophysical grounds, Beverley & Regan suggested that in man different neural mechanisms mediate the binocular perception of movement in depth and the binocular perception of positional (static) depth. They proposed that the human visual pathway contains several neural mechanisms, each sensitive to a different direction of motion in space. These mechanisms compute the direction of motion from the relative speeds and directions of movement of the left and right retinal images.
