Features integrate along a motion trajectory when object integrity is preserved

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Information about a moving object is usually poor at each retinotopic location because photoreceptor activation is short, noisy, and affected by shadows, reflections of other objects, and so on. Integration across the motion trajectory may yield a much bet ...

Discrete windows of feature integration

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

A car drives through the night. It is hard to estimate its color from single photoreceptor activity because photoreceptor activation is short and noisy. An efficient way to estimate the color is to average photoreceptor activities along the car’s motion tr ...
