For example, a moving stimulus appears smeared when viewed briefly (30 ms), yet sharp when viewed for a longer exposure (100 ms) (Burr, 1980). This suggests that visual systems combine information along a trajectory that matches the motion of the stimulus. Our self-organizing neural network model shows how developmental exposure to moving stimuli can direct the formation of horizontal trajectory-specific motion integration pathways that unsmear representations of moving stimuli. These results account for Burr's data and can potentially also model other phenomena, such as visual inertia. date: 1993 date_type: published publication: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 5 publisher: San Mateo: CA: Morgan Kaufman pagerange: 117-121 refereed: FALSE citation: Martin, K.E. and Marshall, J.A.
