Entorhinal cortex receptive fields are modulated by spatial attention, even without movement
Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex allow for the precise decoding of position in space. Along with potentially playing an important role in navigation, grid cells have recently been hypothesized to make a general contribution to mental operations. A prerequisite for this hypothesis is that grid cell activity does not critically depend on physical movement. Here, we show that movement of covert...
متن کاملSpatially-oriented attention can be biased towards an expected dimension 1 Spatial attention can be biased towards an expected dimension RUNNING HEAD: Spatial attention and expected dimension
A commonly held view in both exogenous and endogenous orienting is that spatial attention is associated with enhanced processing of all stimuli at the attended location. However, we often search for a specific target at a particular location, so an observer should be able to jointly specify the target identity and expected location. Whether attention can bias dimension-specific processes at a p...
متن کاملSpatial Attention and Perception: Seeing without paint
Covert spatial attention alters the way things look. Objects situated at attended locations appear bigger, closer, if striped, stripier than qualitatively indiscernible counterparts whose locations are unattended. These results cannot be easily explained in terms of the number and kind of perceived properties of objects. Nor do they appear to be cases of visual illusions. Ned Block has argued t...
متن کاملA Collection of Pseudo-Words to Study Multi-Talker Speech Intelligibility without Shifts of Spatial Attention
A new collection of pseudo-words was recorded from a single female speaker of American English for use in multi-talker speech intelligibility research. The pseudo-words (known as the KARG collection) consist of three groups of single syllable pseudo-words varying only by the initial phoneme. The KARG method allows speech intelligibility to be studied free of the influence of shifts of spatial a...
متن کاملEven Accelerating Machines are Not Universal
We draw an analogy between Godel's Incompleteness Theorem in mathematics, and the impossibility of achieving a Universal Computer in computer science. Speci cally, Godel proved that there exist formal systems of mathematics that are consistent but not complete. In the same way, we show that there does not exist a general-purpose computer that is universal in the sense of being able to simulat...
