Abstract

The Selective Tuning Model is aproposal for modelling visual attention in primatesand humans. This paper describes ongoing researchto include attention to motion stimuli within themodel. The effort is unique because it seems thatno past model presents a motion hierarchy plusattention to motion. We propose a biologicallyrealistic model of the primate visual motion systemattempting to explain how a hierarchical feedforwardnetwork consisting of layers representingcortical areas V1, MT, MST, and 7a detects andclassifies different kinds of motion patterns. TheSTM model is then integrated into this hierarchydemonstrating that successfully attending to motionpatterns results in localization (segmentation) andlabeling of those patterns.
