DESCRIPTION:This week we will discuss and debate a very recent paper by Mu
 ller and colleagues\, published in eLife (2023).\n\nAbstract: “Walking t
 hrough an environment generates retinal motion\, which humans rely on to p
 erform a variety of visual tasks. Retinal motion patterns are determined b
 y an interconnected set of factors\, including gaze location\, gaze stabil
 ization\, the structure of the environment\, and the walker’s goals. The
  characteristics of these motion signals have important consequences for n
 eural organization and behavior. However\, to date\, there are no empirica
 l in situ measurements of how combined eye and body movements interact wit
 h real 3D environments to shape the statistics of retinal motion signals. 
 Here\, we collect measurements of the eyes\, the body\, and the 3D environ
 ment during locomotion. We describe properties of the resulting retinal mo
 tion patterns. We explain how these patterns are shaped by gaze location i
 n the world\, as well as by behavior\, and how they may provide a template
  for the way motion sensitivity and receptive field properties vary across
  the visual field” (Muller et al.\, 2023).\n\nReference: Muller\, K.S.\,
