cSIFE is inhibited by stationary patterns and excited by nondirectional motion. A, Neural response to a stationary sinusoidal grating (6° wavelength) presented for 1 s. B, Neural response to a moving sinusoidal grating (6° wavelength, 5 Hz). The bar under the data trace indicates the stimulation time. C, The distribution of cSIFE spontaneous rates (N = 24). D, The response of cSIFE to a stationary grating as a function of pattern orientation (N = 18). Pictograms show the orientation of the pattern. E, The responses of cSIFE to a sinusoidal grating drifting in 8 directions (N = 15). Arrows indicate the direction the grating drifted. F, cSIFE's response as a function of a stationary sinusoidal grating's wavelength (N = 10). G, The response of cSIFE as a function of pattern wavelength of a sinusoidal grating drifting at 5 Hz (N = 10). H, The response of cSIFE as a function of contrast, to a stationary, full-screen sinusoidal grating (N = 10). I, The response as a function of contrast, to a moving (5 Hz), sinusoidal grating (N = 10).
