Neurometric and psychophysical performance in motion perception_Sparks Vis Sci 7: 1-4, 2020
A paper can be not very interesting for the topic of interest of a researcher. Other times it is interesting. Often, it is very interesting. I sometimes happen to come across articles that literally thrill me: for their methodology, for their clarity, for the hypothesis they intend to test, and the way they do it. This study by Britten and colleagues[1], who measured and compared the neuronal and psychophysical threshold referred to coherent motion in macaques, is one of my favorites.
