Some nerve cells in the cerebral cortex are very sensitive to visual motion. These neurons direct eye movements and provide motion perception, but the "neuronal code" they carry is poorly understood. We will address this basic question in experimental studies of the primate visual system. This project will help us understand visual performance; poor motion vision is an early indicator of many neurological disorders and this knowledge can help develop methods for their detection and diagnosis.

大脑皮层中的一些神经细胞对视觉运动非常敏感。这些神经元引导眼球运动并提供运动感知，但它们携带的“神经元代码”却知之甚少。我们将在灵长类动物视觉系统的实验研究中解决这个基本问题。该项目将帮助我们了解视觉表现;运动视觉差是许多神经系统疾病的早期指标，这些知识可以帮助开发检测和诊断方法。
