A New Mechanism for Neuronal Gain Control (or How the Gain in Brains Has Mainly Been Explained)
One of the more prosaic but necessary features of almost any information processing system is gain control. All such systems must have some way to adjust the relationship between input, which can vary dramatically depending on changes in the environment, and output, which is almost always required to remain within a limited range of amplitudes. While the volume control on a radio or the brightn...
متن کاملA Mechanism for Neuronal Gain Control by Descending Pathways
Many implementations of adaptive signal processing in the nervous system are likely to require a mechanism for gain control at the single neuron level. To properly adjust the gain of an individual neuron, it may be necessary to use information carried by neurons in other parts of the system. The ability to adjust the gain of neurons in one part of the brain, using control signals arising from a...
متن کاملBinocular combination of phase and contrast explained by a gain-control and gain-enhancement model.
We investigated suprathreshold binocular combination, measuring both the perceived phase and perceived contrast of a cyclopean sine wave. We used a paradigm adapted from Ding and Sperling (2006, 2007) to measure the perceived phase by indicating the apparent location (phase) of the dark trough in the horizontal cyclopean sine wave relative to a black horizontal reference line, and we used the s...
متن کاملHow to Gain Respect as an Educator
Respect is often mentioned spontaneously when people talk about relationships in society, and intuitively everyone seems to know its meaning. In any kind of relationship, respect is often said to contribute to successful interactions. Scientists, politicians, writers and journalists commonly use the term ‘respect’ in their arguments with remarkable conviction...
متن کاملEvidence for a noise gain control mechanism in human vision
For small, brief targets incremental threshold is known to obey the de Vries-Rose law: threshold rises in direct proportion to the square-root of background intensity. We present data demonstrating a square-root law for brightness matching as well. The square-root law for brightness is obtained over the full range of scotopic vision, and the low intensity end of photopic vision. The classic the...
