Visuomotor performance acting on a moving target is fundamentally based on visual motion
discriminability, and its neural basis is presumed to be human MT (hMT+), a motion vision …

Background: Human visual cortical area hMT+, like its homolog MT in the macaque monkey,
has been shown to be particularly selective to visual motion. After damage to the primary …

We investigated the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the
human cerebral cortex on apparent motion perception. Previous studies have shown that …

The underlying mechanisms of action of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are still a
matter of debate. TMS may impair a subject's performance by increasing neural noise …

Background Psychophysical evidence suggests that the perception of the motion and color
of moving stimuli are determined separately in the human brain. Here we aim to determine …

The ability to detect the motion of objects is critical to survival, and understanding the cortical
mechanisms involved in this process remains a key challenge in sensory neuroscience. A …

The state-dependency approach of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) enables
differential stimulation of functionally distinct neural populations within the affected region of …

The medial temporal and medial superior temporal cortex (MT/MST) is involved in the
processing of visual motion, and fMRI experiments indicate that there is greater activation …

Although visual areas hMT+ and hV4 are considered to have segregated functions for the
processing of motion and form within dorsal and ventral streams, respectively, more recent …

Previous experiments have demonstrated that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of
human V5/MT+ in the right cerebral hemisphere can induce deficits in visual motion …
