Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research by Beckers and Zeki (1995) using transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily deactivate the MT (middle temporal) area of the brain, which is involved in processing visual motion, found that the perception of motion was impaired. This demonstrates the role of the MT area in motion perception.
