In the context of the biological process of movement perception, the superior temporal polysensory area plays a specialized role in processing visual stimuli. Neurons within this area respond best to moving stimuli, with a particular sensitivity to movements directed away from the center of the visual field. Together with the middle temporal area, this region is involved in the integration of visual stimuli and movement.1
