The phase of pre-stimulus alpha oscillations influences the visual perception of stimulus timing
This study examined the influence of pre-stimulus alpha phase and attention on whether two visual stimuli occurring closely in time were perceived as simultaneous or asynchronous. The results demonstrated that certain phases of alpha in the period immediately preceding stimulus onset were associated with a higher proportion of stimuli judged to be asynchronous. Furthermore, this effect was show...
متن کاملSpatial Probability Aids Visual Stimulus Discrimination
We investigated whether the statistical predictability of a target's location would influence how quickly and accurately it was classified. Recent results have suggested that spatial probability can be a cue for the allocation of attention in visual search. One explanation for probability cuing is spatial repetition priming. In our two experiments we used probability distributions that were con...
متن کاملNeuronal Oscillations Enhance Stimulus Discrimination by Ensuring Action Potential Precision
Although oscillations in membrane potential are a prominent feature of sensory, motor, and cognitive function, their precise role in signal processing remains elusive. Here we show, using a combination of in vivo, in vitro, and theoretical approaches, that both synaptically and intrinsically generated membrane potential oscillations dramatically improve action potential (AP) precision by removi...
متن کاملGamma oscillations in visual cortex: the stimulus matters.
A quarter century ago, neuroscientists discovered that a slowly drifting bar within a receptive field causes field potentials in visual cortex to oscillate at a frequency between 30 and 80 Hz (reviewed in [1]). One circuit-level explanation is that recurrent connections between excitatory and inhibitory cell populations produce a resonance; the resonant frequency depends on the decay time const...
متن کاملDoes the Stimulus Type Influence Horses’ Performance in a Quantity Discrimination Task?
The ability to understand the relation between quantities has been documented in a wide range of species. Such quantity discrimination competences are commonly demonstrated by a choice of the larger quantity or numerosity in a two-choice task. However, despite their overall success, many subjects commit a surprisingly large number of errors even in simple discriminations such as 1 vs. 3. Recent...
