Beyond distance and direction: the brain represents target locations non-metrically.
In their day-to-day activities human beings are constantly generating behavior, such as pointing, grasping or verbal reports, on the basis of visible target locations. The question arises how the brain represents target locations. One possibility is that the brain represents them metrically, i.e. in terms of distance and direction. Another equally plausible possibility is that the brain represe...
متن کاملSeeing beyond the target: environmental context affects distance perception.
It is commonly assumed that perceived distance in full-cue, ecologically valid environments is redundantly specified and approximately veridical. However, recent research has called this assumption into question by demonstrating that distance perception varies in different types of environments even under full-cue viewing conditions. We report five experiments that demonstrate an effect of envi...
متن کاملHow the brain represents other minds.
How does the brain represent the world? Sensory neuroscience has given us a detailed window into how the brain represents physical objects in our environment: For instance, the shape, color, and direction of motion of visual stimuli are represented in an orderly fashion in higher order visual cortices. But we also represent social objects: other people and their thoughts, beliefs, and feelings....
متن کاملMetrically Transitive Point
denote a denumerable set of point transformations in w-dîmensional euclidean space, the transformations of which leave a certain ^-dimensional (p^n) region R (regionsopen, connected point set) of this space invariant. The case where R is the entire w-dimensional space is not excluded. The set of transformations (1) will be said to be metrically transitive with respect to R, if the complement se...
