Scientists at SWC discovered how the brain distinguishes between self-motion and external motion. Using the Translocator, they found that neurons in the primary visual cortex integrate motor and vestibular signals, enabling real-time motion perception. Their research challenges previous assumptions about sensory integration and has implications for neurology, VR, and robotics.
Individual neurons differentiate between internal and external motion.
Neuroscientists have identified how the brain differentiates between visual motion in the external environment and motion caused by an observer’s own movement. This challenge, known as the “motion-source separation problem,” has long puzzled researchers. Now, for the first time, scientists have uncovered the…
