Neural Models of Motion Integration, Segmentation, and Probablistic Decision-Making [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
When brain mechanism carry out motion integration and segmentation processes that compute unambiguous global motion percepts from ambiguous local motion signals? Consider, for example, a deer running at variable speeds behind forest cover.
