Neural tuning of human face processing.
Within the first 6 mo of life, our vision improves many times over and continues to improve during childhood (1). During these early years, we encounter multiple and varied sensory experiences, whose overall patterns can differ considerably between individuals. For example, some of us grow up among a large social group with many races and languages, whereas others grow within a smaller, more un...
متن کاملNeural Adaptation Effects in Conceptual Processing
We investigated the conceptual processing of nouns referring to objects characterized by a highly typical color and orientation. We used a go/no-go task in which we asked participants to categorize each noun as referring or not to natural entities (e.g., animals) after a selective adaptation of color-edge neurons in the posterior LV4 region of the visual cortex was induced by means of a McCollo...
متن کاملVisual adaptation reveals asymmetric spatial frequency tuning for motion.
This study investigated the spatial frequency selectivity of the human visual motion system using the technique of adaptation in which motion aftereffect (MAE) duration was taken as an index of aftereffect magnitude. Eight observers adapted to two vertically oriented, oppositely drifting, luminance-defined gratings that were spatially separated in the vertical dimension. The spatial frequency o...
متن کاملCultural differences in neural function associated with object processing.
Behavioral research suggests that Westerners focus more on objects, whereas East Asians attend more to relationships and contexts. We evaluated the neural basis for these cultural differences in an event-related fMRI study. East Asian and American participants incidentally encoded pictures of (1) a target object alone, (2) a background scene with no discernable target object, and (3) a distinct...
متن کاملNeural adaptation reveals state-dependent effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is now widely used as a 'virtual' lesion paradigm to investigate behavioural functions, but the mechanisms through which it influences neural processing are unclear. To understand the differential effects of TMS on spatially overlapping populations of neurons we manipulated the relative activity levels of visual neurons by adapting subjects to a range of ...
