Rapid fear detection relies on high spatial frequencies.
Signals of threat--such as fearful faces--are processed with priority and have privileged access to awareness. This fear advantage is commonly believed to engage a specialized subcortical pathway to the amygdala that bypasses visual cortex and processes predominantly low-spatial-frequency information but is largely insensitive to high spatial frequencies. We tested visual detection of low- and ...
متن کاملElectrophysiological correlates of affective blindsight
An EEG investigation was carried out in a patient with complete cortical blindness who presented affective blindsight, i.e. who performed above chance when asked to guess the emotional expressions on a series of faces. To uncover the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in this phenomenon we combined multivariate pattern recognition (MPR) with local field potential estimates provided by ele...
متن کاملObject Categorization in Finer Levels Relies More on Higher Spatial Frequencies and Takes Longer
The human visual system contains a hierarchical sequence of modules that take part in visual perception at different levels of abstraction, i.e., superordinate, basic, and subordinate levels. One important question is to identify the "entry" level at which the visual representation is commenced in the process of object recognition. For a long time, it was believed that the basic level had a tem...
متن کاملFrom affective blindsight to emotional consciousness.
Following destruction or denervation of the primary visual cortex (V1) cortical blindness ensues. Affective blindsight refers to the uncanny ability of such patients to respond correctly, or above chance level, to visual emotional expressions presented to their blind fields. Fifteen years after its original discovery, affective blindsight still fascinates neuroscientists and philosophers alike,...
متن کاملHigh Spatial Frequencies Are More Dynamic Than Low Spatial Frequencies In Cardiac Motion
Introduction Effective strategies for sparse sampling of kt-space are important for fast dynamic imaging. Following observations in early landmark papers [1-3] the temporal sampling rate of each k-space view is often linked to the signal energy represented by that view in k-space for a certain class of images, in general considering only the spatial or spatiotemporal spectrum of the entire imag...
