| Research Abstract |
Cortical areas for motion perception were investigated by using fMRI. First, motion-specific responses to an anomalous motion figure was measured and underlying visual pathways were identified. Second, motion-related areas were re-assessed by using multi-voxel analyses. Final conclusion is yet to be sought, but the merits and limitations of the method have been suggested for future study. Finally, activities of higher visual-motion-related areas for self-motion perception were observed, which suggests the next steps of research.
