Sensation and Perception 9th Edition by Bruce Goldstein

Exercise 1

What is the evidence that the MT cortex is specialized for processing movement? Describe the series of experiments that used moving dots as stimuli and (a) recorded from neurons in the MT cortex, (b) lesioned the MT cortex, and (c) stimulated neurons in the MT cortex. What do the results of these experiments enable us to conclude about the role of the MT cortex in motion perception?
