Abstract

Optic flow – the dynamic light motion pattern that projects on moving observers’ retina – plays great roles in many behaviors. Huge neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have been conducted to reveal the cortical areas in human brain that respond to optic flow. One of the most important cortical areas is area MT+ (MT & MST). In the current paper, I tried to summarize the previous studies about human area MT+ and pointed out their existing questions. Based on these questions, I proposed several future research directions. Solving these questions will improve our understanding about the role of area MT+ in optic flow processing.
