Vision: the world through picket fences.
Our visual system must allow us to see the form of objects in motion. Tracking objects of interest stabilises their images on the retina, but is not sufficient, as untracked images move on the retina. This problem is solved by cells tuned in both space and time, combining information about form with information about motion.
