Joint simulators can be used to study motion pathways of a human joint, to investigate changes in joint stability following injury, and to formulate improved reconstructive and rehabilitative procedures.
These four families tested 1) face modulation of the motion pathway to STS from V5, 2) motion modulation of the face pathway to STS from OFA, 3) motion modulation of the face pathway to STS from OFA, and 4) motion modulation of both face pathways from OFA and FFA.
A hierarchical vision system, inspired by the functional architecture of the cortical motion pathway, to provide motion interpretation and to guide real-time actions in the real-world, is proposed.
Neveu et al. suggested that abnormal eye movements change the structure of visual information entering the system, which therefore disrupts the ability of the motion pathways to form normally.
Since form information is mainly processed in the ventral visual pathway, and motion information when not defining a form is mainly processed in the dorsal pathway [14], these findings show that the temporal limit is not a feature of the motion pathway, and may indeed be a characteristic of the ventral form pathway.
This finding shows that form-selective motion sensitivity in the STS can be explained in terms of modulation of gain control on information flow in the motion pathway, and provides a substantial constraint for theories of the perception of faces and biological motion.
A complete quantization study of neuromorphic robust optical flow architecture is performed, using properties found in the cortical motion pathway.
These results are highly compatible with a neurophysiologically plausible neural model of biological motion processing (Giese and Poggio 2003): a form pathway appears to analyze stimuli as discrete event snapshots, whereas a motion pathway analyzes information based on optic-flow information.
Throughout the arc of flexion, the motion pathways were similar for the three simulated active motion protocols employed in this study (p>0.05).
The repeatability in motion pathways generated in both a stable and unstable elbow model was equivalent to or better than for similar tests performed using the load-controlled system, and the velocity of the resulting elbow motion was more reproducible.
