Brain States: Top-Down Influences in Sensory Processing
All cortical and thalamic levels of sensory processing are subject to powerful top-down influences, the shaping of lower-level processes by more complex information. New findings on the diversity of top-down interactions show that cortical areas function as adaptive processors, being subject to attention, expectation, and perceptual task. Brain states are determined by the interactions between ...
متن کاملGravity Influences Top-Down Signals in Visual Processing
Visual perception is not only based on incoming visual signals but also on information about a multimodal reference frame that incorporates vestibulo-proprioceptive input and motor signals. In addition, top-down modulation of visual processing has previously been demonstrated during cognitive operations including selective attention and working memory tasks. In the absence of a stable gravitati...
متن کاملSpecifying attentional top-down influences on subsequent unconscious semantic processing
Classical theories assume that unconscious automatic processes are autonomous and independent of higher-level cognitive influences. In contrast, we propose that automatic processing depends on a specific configuration of the cognitive system by top-down control. In 2 experiments, we tested the influence of available attentional resources and previously activated task sets on masked semantic pri...
متن کاملInhibition Mediates Top-Down Control of Sensory Processing
In this issue of Neuron, Hamilton et al. (2013) stimulate identified inhibitory interneurons with optogenetics, revealing powerful control of the flow of sensory responses across cortical layers. During natural behavior, these influences may mediate the rapid adaptive abilities necessary for detection and perception of sensory signals in noisy environments.
متن کاملInvestigating Top-Down Influences in Image Segmentation
The process of segmenting an input image refers to the task of determining coherent image regions which are likely to correspond to the existing objects in the image. An image segmentation algorithm follows some basic grouping rules and usually attaches a label to each pixel, denoting which region the pixel belongs to. One such way to model segmentation as a labeling problem is to consider an i...
