These are two-dimensional dot arrays, moving in patterns that human observers interpret as a three-dimensional object rotating around an internal axis; comparison tasks involved patterns that are interpreted as simple two-dimensional movement. Vanduffel and colleagues reported that viewing structure-from-motion stimuli activated a number of extrastriate areas common to macaques and humans. However, humans also had several foci of activation in posterior parietal cortex that were not found in macaques under the same viewing conditions.
