The functional selectivity of human primary visual cortex (V1) for orientation and motion
direction is established by around 3 months of age [1–3], but there have been few studies of …

A high‐density EEG study was carried out to investigate cortical activity in response to
forward and backward visual motion at two different driving speeds, simulated through optic …

Radial optic flow is one of the crucial cues for the perception of motion‐in‐depth and
contributes to our daily adaptive actions such as locomotion or postural control. Although …

The development of sensitivity to radial optic flow discrimination was investigated by
measuring motion coherence thresholds (MCTs) in school-aged children at two speeds. A …

Visual motion perception can arise from non-directional visual stimuli, such as still images
(implied motion, cf. Kourtzi, Trends Cogn Sci 8: 47–49, 2004). We tested 5-to 8-month-old …

We report asymmetrical cortical responses (steady‐state visual evoked potentials) to radial
expansion and contraction in human infants and adults. Forty‐four infants (22 3‐month‐olds …

Structured patterns of global visual motion called optic flow provide crucial information about
an observer's speed and direction of self-motion and about the geometry of the environment …

Voluntary locomotion is one of the most important motor actions performed by animals,
including humans, and vision plays an important role in controlling such action. We …

Vection is illusory self-motion elicited by visual stimuli and is more easily induced by radial
contraction than expansion flow in adults. The asymmetric feature of vection was …

The focus of a radial optic flow is a valid visual cue used to perceive and control the heading
direction of animals. Gaze patterns in response to the focus of radial optic flow were …
