Visual motion patterns are enough to recalibrate your internal GPS!

While it was previously understood that the brain uses landmarks for location and speed calibration. However, it wasn't clear if these landmarks were essential for recalibrating speed. Kavli NDI PI James Kneirim and Noah Cowan demonstrates that visual motion cues alone can recalibrate, even when visual landmarks are absent. 

This work is features in the Nature Neuroscience.
