Once we stroll, force a vehicle, or fly an aircraft, visible movement is used to manage and consultant our move. Optic movement describes the attribute development of visible movement that arises in those occasions. This e-book is the 1st to take an in-depth examine the neuronal processing ideas that underlie the brain's skill to investigate and use optic stream for the keep watch over of self-motion. It does so in various species which use optic stream in numerous behavioral contexts. The spectrum levels from flying bugs to birds, better mammals and guy. The contributions disguise physiological and behavioral reviews in addition to computational versions. Neuronal Processing of Optic Flow presents an authoritative and entire review of the present country of study in this subject written via a bunch of authors who've made crucial contributions to shaping this box of study over the past ten years.

• Provides the 1st exact review of the research of advanced visible movement styles within the brain
• Includes physiological, behavioral, and computational features of optic movement processing
• Highlights similarities and adjustments among assorted animal species and behavioral tasks
