Putative human VIP equivalent as assessed with fMRI (Bremmer et al. 2001). (A) Subjects experienced either a visual (large random dot pattern), a tactile (air flow across forehead) or an auditory (binaural beats) motion stimulus, or a stationary modality-specific control. (B) A conjunction analysis (P < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons, n = 8) testing for increased neural activity common to all three conditions conveying motion information revealed significant activations in three circumscribed regions, one of which was located in parietal cortex (labelled ‘1’). The superimposition of the functional images with the mean anatomical volume showed that the area activated lay in the depth of either intraparietal sulcus (IPS).
