Abstract: When signals are transmitted from eye to brain there is inevitably a delay as they are processed by the brain. To circumvent this delay, the visual system can anticipate the path of moving stimuli. This anticipation was always assumed to be controlled by high-level areas of the motion cortex, but the surprising new finding is that it's actually accomplished, to a large extent, by the retina.
