Changes in perceptual sensitivity related to spatial cues depends on subcortical activity.
Spatial cues allow animals to selectively attend to relevant visual stimuli while ignoring distracters. This process depends on a distributed neuronal network, and an important current challenge is to understand the functional contributions made by individual brain regions within this network and how these contributions interact. Recent findings point to a possible anatomical segregation, with ...
متن کاملSensitivity of spatial integration to perceptual cues is preserved in healthy aging
Spatial integration has been shown to substantially decline with age. We examined the mechanism underlying this age-related impairment. Young and older adults were tested on the ability to integrate contour elements across variations in the collinearity of the target elements, their spatial proximity, and the relative spacing of the target elements to the background noise elements (Δ). The resu...
متن کاملSpatial Cognition: Grid Cell Firing Depends on Self-Motion Cues
A recent study has found that the periodic spatial activity of grid cells is completely degraded when animals are moved passively around an enclosure, strengthening the view that grid-firing is generated on the basis of self-motion information.
متن کاملCognitive processes of spatial coordinate assignment. On weighting perceptual cues.
p erception of space and communication about space requires the computation of different types of information, such as visual, vestibular and somatosensory information. Although initially processed at physiological levels, integration and interpretation of these different perceptual cues take place at a cognitive level. At this level different types of perceptual information are weighted and ma...
متن کاملPerceptual learning depends on perceptual constancy.
Perceptual learning refers to experience-induced improvements in the pick-up of information. Perceptual constancy describes the fact that, despite variable sensory input, perceptual representations typically correspond to stable properties of objects. Here, we show evidence of a strong link between perceptual learning and perceptual constancy: Perceptual learning depends on constancy-based perc...
