Competitive Dynamics in MSTd: A Mechanism for Robust Heading Perception Based on Optic Flow
Fig 9
Simulations of the competitive dynamics model of self-motion through a static environment on individual trials when the entire field is replaced by 1, 2, 5, or 10 frames of laminar optic flow.
The simulations reveal how large variable-length perturbations affect model performance and recovery. Colored bars indicate the duration of the optic flow disruption and the colored curves indicate the absolute heading error in single trial simulations of model MSTd.
