How the vision of movement works: the aperture problem (IMAGE)
Caption
To accurately perceive the direction of moving objects, rats could exploit a small but very useful cluster of visual neurons, which seem to work in the same way as the “pattern cells” found in the cerebral cortex of primates. Thanks to these neurons, rats could rely on a rather advanced motion processing system, based on extraction of high-level visual information from retinal images.
