A new psychophysical estimation of the receptive field size.
When a line extends beyond the width of an aperture, its direction of motion cannot be detected correctly. Only the component of motion perpendicular to the line is detectable (aperture problem). Early visual areas face the same aperture problem because receptive field sizes are relatively small. The susceptibility of early visual areas to the aperture problem opens an opportunity to measure th...
متن کاملTemporal receptive field estimation using wavelets.
A standard goal of many neurophysiological investigations is to obtain enough insight into a neuron's behavior that it becomes possible to predict responses to arbitrary stimuli. Techniques have been developed to solve this system identification problem, and the numerical method presented here adds to this toolbox. Stimuli and responses, beginning as functions of time, are transformed to comple...
متن کاملPsychophysical receptive fields of edge detection mechanisms
Theories of edge detection generally assume a front-end linear stage involving some population of neural filters. Here we study these early mechanisms using psychophysical techniques, and evaluate a number of models for edge detection. We measured psychophysical efficiency for detection of noisy luminance edge stimuli over a range of stimulus sizes and shapes. The data suggest a diversity in re...
متن کاملA psychophysical correlate of contrast dependent changes in receptive field properties
Recent physiological investigations have demonstrated that a neuron's area of spatial summation can vary depending on stimulus contrast. Specifically, when the same stimulus is presented to a neuron at a low contrast, the area of summation (or neuron's receptive field) can increase by at least a factor of two, compared to that estimated with a high contrast stimulus. We sought to examine this p...
متن کاملNeglect dyslexia and receptive fields 1 Hemispheric asymmetries in neglect dyslexia: A receptive field size account
Damage to the left or the right hemisphere can result in qualitatively and quantitatively different patterns of behavioural impairment. Damage to the right hemisphere, for example, frequently results in neglect, characterised by inattention to the contralesional side of space: this outcome is less frequent following left hemisphere damage. However, the type of stimulus to which the neglect pati...
