Elevated arousal levels enhance contrast perception.
Our state of arousal fluctuates from moment to moment-fluctuations that can have profound impacts on behavior. Arousal has been proposed to play a powerful, widespread role in the brain, influencing processes as far ranging as perception, memory, learning, and decision making. Although arousal clearly plays a critical role in modulating behavior, the mechanisms underlying this modulation remain...
متن کاملSexual arousal and heterosexual perception.
It has been theorized that high drive initiates an "autistic" perceptual process operating in the direction of drive gratification. In the present study, it was hypothesized that (a) under conditions of high drive, perceptual distortion of drive-relevant objects occurs principally along drive-relevant dimensions; (b) the direction of distortion is toward enhancement of the object's potential fo...
متن کاملDoes arousal enhance apical amplification and disamplification?
We summarize evidence that input to the apical tufts of neocortical pyramidal cells modulates their response to basal input. Because this apical amplification and disamplification provide intracortical mechanisms for prioritization, Mather and colleagues' arguments suggest that their effects are enhanced by noradrenergic arousal. Though that is likely, it has not yet been adequately studied. Th...

متن کاملArousal-Biased Competition in Perception and Memory.
Our everyday surroundings besiege us with information. The battle is for a share of our limited attention and memory, with the brain selecting the winners and discarding the losers. Previous research shows that both bottom-up and top-down factors bias competition in favor of high priority stimuli. We propose that arousal during an event increases this bias both in perception and in long-term me...
