Decoding Successive Computational Stages of Saliency Processing
An important requirement for vision is to identify interesting and relevant regions of the environment for further processing. Some models assume that salient locations from a visual scene are encoded in a dedicated spatial saliency map [1, 2]. Then, a winner-take-all (WTA) mechanism [1, 2] is often believed to threshold the graded saliency representation and identify the most salient position ...
متن کاملFinger Tracking Reveals the Covert Stages of Mental Arithmetic
We introduce a novel method capable of dissecting the succession of processing stages underlying mental arithmetic, thus revealing how two numbers are transformed into a third. We asked adults to point to the result of single-digit additions and subtractions on a number line, while their finger trajectory was constantly monitored. We found that the two operands are processed serially: the finge...
متن کاملSparse Autoencoders for Word Decoding from Magnetoencephalography
An open problem in the processing and analysis of neuroimaging data is finding the optimal set of features from which to decode or study underlying neural processes. Handcrafted features sets have been examined in the past with varying degrees of success. Here, we explore sparse autoencoders, a method to extract high-level feature representations of neural data in an unsupervised way, without a...
متن کاملIs integer arithmetic fundamental to mental processing?: the mind's secret arithmetic.
Unlike the ability to acquire our native language, we struggle to learn multiplication and division. It may then come as a surprise that the mental machinery for performing lightning-fast integer arithmetic calculations could be within us all even though it cannot be readily accessed, nor do we have any idea of its primary function. We are led to this provocative hypothesis by analysing the ext...
متن کاملProcessing Pathways in Mental Arithmetic—Evidence from Probabilistic Fiber Tracking
Numerical cognition is a case of multi-modular and distributed cerebral processing. So far neither the anatomo-functional connections between the cortex areas involved nor their integration into established frameworks such as the differentiation between dorsal and ventral processing streams have been specified. The current study addressed this issue combining a re-analysis of previously publish...
