Abstract
The multiplicative inhibitory motion detector (MIMD) has been proposed by the authors (Visual Communications and Image Processing IV, Proceedings of SPIE. 1199, 1229-1240, 1989). The applicability of this motion detector to the activity of motion-sensitive interneurons of the lobula plate, the posterior pat of the third visual ganglion in the fly´s optic lobe, is investigated. In particular, it is demonstrated that an array of MIMDs can simulate the characteristics of transient and steady-state response and of contrast sensitivity functions for these neurons
