[PDF][PDF] Prediction as a candidate for learning deep hierarchical models of data

RB Palm - Technical University of Denmark, 2012 - academia.edu
Recent findings [HOT06] have made possible the learning of deep layered hierarchical

A rapid subcortical amygdala route for faces irrespective of spatial frequency and emotion

J McFadyen, M Mermillod, JB Mattingley… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
There is significant controversy over the existence and function of a direct subcortical visual
pathway to the amygdala. It is thought that this pathway rapidly transmits low spatial …

Stochastic generation of gamma-band activity in primary visual cortex of awake and anesthetized monkeys

D Xing, Y Shen, S Burns, CI Yeh… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Oscillatory neural activity within the gamma band (25–90 Hz) is generally thought to be able
to provide a timing signal for harmonizing neural computations across different brain …

Dissociating the effect of noise on sensory processing and overall decision difficulty

ÉM Bankó, V Gál, J Körtvélyes, G Kovács… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
It has been proposed that perceptual decision making involves a task-difficulty component,
which detects perceptual uncertainty and guides allocation of attentional resources. It is …

Getting drowsy? Alert/nonalert transitions and visual thalamocortical network dynamics

Y Bereshpolova, CR Stoelzel, J Zhuang… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
The effects of different EEG brain states on spontaneous firing of cortical populations are not
well understood. Such state shifts may occur frequently under natural conditions, and …

Untuned suppression makes a major contribution to the enhancement of orientation selectivity in macaque V1

D Xing, DL Ringach, MJ Hawken… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
One of the functions of the cerebral cortex is to increase the selectivity for stimulus features.
Finding more about the mechanisms of increased cortical selectivity is important for …

Finding flicker: Critical differences in temporal frequency capture attention

J Cass, E Van der Burg, D Alais - Frontiers in psychology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Rapid visual flicker is known to capture attention. Here we show slow flicker can also
capture attention under reciprocal temporal conditions. Observers searched for a target line …

[HTML][HTML] Visual crowding is correlated with awareness

TSA Wallis, PJ Bex - Current Biology, 2011 - cell.com
Crowding by nearby features causes identification failures in the peripheral visual field [1, 2].
However, prominent visual features can sometimes fail to reach awareness [3, 4], causing …
