Abstract
⺠The human middle temporal complex (hMT +) is devoted to motion perception. ⺠We studied whether motion information reaches hMT + directly from the thalamus. ⺠Conditional Granger Causality and Coherence during optic flow were measured by fMRI. ⺠A significant direct influence of LGN on hMT+, independent of V1, was detected. ⺠Shorter latencies suggest an earlier processing of motion in hMT + than in V1.
