A neural basis for inference in perceptual ambiguity.
When looking at ambiguous visual stimuli, the observer experiences frequent spontaneous transitions between two competing percepts while physical stimulation remains unchanged. Despite recent advances in understanding the neural processes underlying such perceptual rivalry, a key question has remained unresolved: Does perceptual rivalry result merely from local bistability of neural activity pa...
متن کاملVagueness, Ambiguity and Perceptual Bistability
1. Introduction. While vagueness and ambiguity have been opposed in the semantic domain (vagueness is often described as meaning underdetermination, ambiguity as meaning overdetermi-nation, see Fine 1975; moreover, vagueness is fundamentally a property of concepts, ambiguity a property of stimuli or expressions), Raffman has made the suggestion that within soritical series, borderline cases typ...
متن کاملReactive Agents and Perceptual Ambiguity
Situated and embodied reactive agents solve relatively complex tasks by coordinating action and perception. Reactive agents are generally believed to be incapable of coping with identical sensory states that require different responses (i.e., perceptual ambiguity). In contrast to reactive agents, non-reactive agents can cope with perceptual ambiguity by storing and integrating sensory informati...
متن کاملMultistability and Perceptual Inference
Ambiguous images present a challenge to the visual system: How can uncertainty about the causes of visual inputs be represented when there are multiple equally plausible causes? A Bayesian ideal observer should represent uncertainty in the form of a posterior probability distribution over causes. However, in many real-world situations, computing this distribution is intractable and requires som...
متن کاملHallucinations and perceptual inference
This commentary takes a closer look at how “constructive models of subjective perception,” referred to by Collerton et al. (sect. 2), might contribute to the Perception and Attention Deficit (PAD) model. It focuses on the neuronal mechanisms that could mediate hallucinations, or false inference – in particular, the role of cholinergic systems in encoding uncertainty in the context of hierarchic...
