Stefan Treue investigates the role of attention in processing visual motion information. The focus of this project will be to investigate the functional role of dorsal medio-superior temporal area (MSTd) in the visual cortex of rhesus monkeys in the flow of information from primary visual cortex to higher non-sensory areas in the frontal lobe. This will be achieved by detailed investigations of the sensory and attentional aspects of the response properties of MSTd, particularly to linear and spiral motion patterns and in terms of the receptive field structure. In the later phase of this project the interactions of MSTd with the frontal eye field (FEF) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) will be investigated in an effort to understand the source and control of attentional modulations in MSTd.

Stefan Treue研究了注意力在处理视觉运动信息中的作用。本研究的重点是探讨恒河猴视皮层背侧颞中上区（MSTd）在初级视皮层向额叶高级非感觉区传递信息过程中的功能作用。这将通过对MSTd的响应特性的感官和注意力方面的详细调查来实现，特别是线性和螺旋运动模式以及感受野结构。在本项目的后期，将研究MSTd与额叶眼场（FEF）和背外侧前额叶皮层（dlPFC）的相互作用，以了解MSTd中注意调节的来源和控制。
