Objectives:1) To describe how MT/MST and V4 areas act as visual
motion processing sections of the human brain
2) Provide evidence to support that transformations of Retinotopic to egocentric coordinate frames are necessary for guiding action and recognition in humans
3) Depict how transformations are modulated by eye positions for humans (the difference in preferred direction of eye position signal reflects differences in transformation)

HypothesisSimilar modulation by eye position is present
in the human equivalent model of the monkey MT/MST and V4 areas

Results: Mapping Optic FlowStationary fixation stimulus as control
Optic flow produces activation in MT and V4v/V8
Collateral sulcus activation had retinotopic representation

DiscussionAbsence of moving stimulus and MT
Eye position signal may be to transform coding retinal slip velocity into velocity regarding the head
