Dynamics of Visual Motion Processing Neuronal, Behavioral, and Compu
Visual motion is an essential piece of information for both perceiving our environment and controlling our actions. The visual motion system has evolved as an exquisite machinery adapted to reconstruct the direction and speed of the object of interest wit

Preface
Biological motion is an essential piece of sensory information for living organism and therefore motion processing units, from simple elementary motion detectors to dedicated motion sensitive cortical areas, have been identified over a broad spectrum of animals. Biological visual motion systems are among the ones having been the most scrutinized at many different levels from microcircuits to perception (see Born and Bradley 2005; Bartels et al. 2008; Callaway 2005; Sincich and Horton 2005; Demb 2007; Britten 2008; Bradley and Goyal 2008; Kourtzi et al. 2008; Orban 2008 for recent reviews). In parallel, since the early work of Reichardt (1961), theoretical approaches of motion detection have been always tightly linked with experimental work so that nowadays, most experiments are conducted within rather well-defined theoretical frameworks (e.g. Carandini et al. 2005). Visual motion has thus become a representative of system neurosciences where similar approaches can be applied across very different levels of brain
