The information flow along the dorsal visual stream of the primate brain is being thoroughly studied in neuroscience, and this research is being used in artificial intelligence applications. The knowledge regarding one of its most critical stages though, the posterior intrapari-etal area CIP, remains relatively undeveloped. This paper offers new computational descriptions of the tasks performed by CIP as a fundamental relay station between the visual cortex and the visuomotor areas downstream. Analytical expressions of the transfer functions realized by surface and axes orientation selective neurons (SOS and AOS) of CIP are derived and discussed.
