Newsome et al. (1989) used the coherence of motion technique to study monkeys' perception of motion. When comparing the results of single-cell recordings from area MT with the monkeys' judgments, they found that:
A) the judgments were about what one would expect if the judgments were based on the responses of the population of MT neurons.
B) the judgments were about what one would expect if the judgments were based on the responses of the population of V1 neurons.
C) the judgments were inconsistent with what one would expect if the judgments were based on the responses of the population of MT neurons.
D) the responses of the population of MT neurons appeared unrelated to the judgments that the monkeys made.

The study by Newsome et al. (1989) demonstrated a close correlation between the motion perception judgments made by monkeys and the responses of a population of neurons in area MT, suggesting that these judgments could indeed be based on the responses of MT neurons.
