The orientation of the bar is varied over 4 angles, and the direction of motion of the bar is varied over 8 directions. Right: Responses to stimulation at different orientations and directions. This particular neuron responds to many orientations and directions, but provides particularly strong responses for stimuli moving up and to the right. b A tuning curve graph of the responses of the same cell as a function of direction angle. The preferred direction and the ¡°null¡± direction (direction opposite the preferred) are indicated.
