Extrastriate area MST and parietal area VIP similarly represent forward headings.

Many studies have documented the involvement of medial superior temporal extrastriate area (MST) in the perception of heading based on optic flow information. Furthermore, both heading perception and the responses of MST neurons are relatively stable in the presence of eye movements that distort the retinal flow information on which perception is based. Area VIP in the posterior parietal cortex also contains a robust representation of optic flow cues for heading.

Cognitive and attentional changes with age: evidence from attentional blink deficits.

The attentional blink (AB) is a marked deficit in detecting a second target for up to 600 ms within a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). The phenomenon of the AB has typically been investigated using college students between 18 and 25 years of age. However, the AB has not been closely studied within a senior population.
