Optic flow, the visual pattern during movement, is crucial for determining locomotion direction and speed. This review discusses recent psychophysical and electrophysiological findings on optic flow processing and its neural mechanisms in mammals.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Vision Science
  • Computational Neuroscience

Context:

  • Optic flow, the pattern of visual motion on the retina during self-movement, is fundamental for navigation and spatial orientation in humans and animals.
  • Understanding optic flow is critical for deciphering how organisms perceive their environment and guide their movements.

Purpose:

  • To review recent advancements in psychophysical and electrophysiological research on optic flow.
  • To discuss the neural mechanisms underlying optic flow processing in the mammalian brain.

Summary:

  • Optic flow encompasses rotational, expansion/contraction, and translational motion patterns.
  • Analysis of optic flow aids in determining locomotion direction and velocity.
  • Recent progress in psychophysics and electrophysiology, alongside neural mechanisms in mammals, are explored.
