We recorded 57 SOS neurons from the caudal part of the lateral bank of the intraparietal sulcus (area CIP) of three hemispheres of two Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata). In order to elucidate the neural mechanisms involved in the perception of the three-dimensional (3D) orientation of a surface, we trained monkeys to discriminate the 3D orientation of a surface from binocular disparity cues using a Go/No-go type delayed-matching-tosample (DMTS) task and examined the properties of the surfaceorientation–selective (SOS) neurons. A mathematical analysis proves that both approximations do not prevent the schemes from approaching the goal with arbitrary accuracy, but lead to different. These are obtained from an approximation that incorporates prior knowledge about perspective distortions of the visual environment. As an alternative, we propose a homing scheme that uses parameterized displacement fields. We show that most existing approaches to scene-based homing implicitly assume an isotropic landmark distribution. However, if prior assumptions about typical distance distributions are used, a snapshot taken at the goal suffices to compute the goal direction from the current view. The exact computation of the goal direction would require knowledge about the distances to visible landmarks, information, which is not directly available to passive vision systems. In homing tasks, the goal is often not marked by visible objects but must be inferred from the spatial relation to the visual cues in the surrounding scene. Our results provide new insights on the geometrical, experiential, and functional attributes that determine canonical v. In both experiments, there was a large degree of consistency across participants in terms of the preferred view for a given object. In the second experiment, participants mentally imaged each object based on the name and then adjusted the object to the viewpoint from which they imagined it. In the first experiment, participants adjusted each object to the viewpoint from which they would take a photograph if they planned to use the object to illustrate a brochure.
Objects were viewed on a Silicon Graphics Workstation and manipulated in virtual space using a three degree-of-freedom input device. We assessed the canonical views for objects by allowing participants to actively rotate realistically shaded three-dimensional models in realtime. We investigated preferred or canonical views for familiar and novel three-dimensional objects using computer-graphics psychophysics. In addition, the effect of speed on cortical and muscle activity was also found to be significantly different. Muscle activity was also found to be directionally tuned however, the distributions of preferred directions were found to be significantly different from cortical activity. Electromyographic activity from a number of upper arm muscles was recorded during this task. This equation, which has both independent (speed only) and interactive (speed and direction) com-ponents, described a large portion of the time-varying motor cortical activity during the task. A single equation relating motor cortical discharge rate to these two parameters was developed.
In addition to the well-studied average directional selectivity (“preferred direction”) of single-cell activity, we also found the time-varying speed of movement to be represented in the cortical activity. Single-cell activity patterns were recorded in the proximal arm area of motor cortex during the task. The motor cortical substrate associated with reach-ing was studied as monkeys moved their hands from a central position to one of eight targets spaced around a circle. They provide opportunities for data analysis and for children to create their own bar and tally charts.Sentation of speed and direction during reaching.
