Representation Sharpening Can Explain Perceptual Priming
Perceiving and identifying an object is improved by prior exposure to the object. This perceptual priming phenomenon is accompanied by reduced neural activity. But whether suppression of neuronal activity with priming is responsible for the improvement in perception is unclear. To address this problem, we developed a rate-based network model of visual processing. In the model, decreased neural ...
متن کاملCan theories of animal discrimination explain perceptual learning in humans?
We present a review of recent studies of perceptual learning conducted with nonhuman animals. The focus of this research has been to elucidate the mechanisms by which mere exposure to a pair of similar stimuli can increase the ease with which those stimuli are discriminated. These studies establish an important role for 2 mechanisms, one involving inhibitory associations between the unique feat...
متن کاملColor image enhancement based on perceptual sharpening
In this paper we present a sharpening operator for color images that is based on perceptual considerations about how human visual behaves for color scenes. Color contrast is an induction phenomenon of the visual system that varies the chromaticity of a color region depending on the color of its surround, provoking an enhanced perception of color scenes. This effect can be simulated by a sharpen...
متن کاملLinear mechanisms can produce motion sharpening
Human observers are not normally conscious of blur from moving objects [Nature 284 (1980) 164]. Several recent reports have even shown that blurred images appear sharper when drifting than when stationary and have suggested different non-linear mechanisms to explain this phenomenon [Vision Res. 36 (1996) 2729; Vision Res. 38 (1998) 2099]. We demonstrate here that even though distortions of drif...
متن کاملPerceptual awareness and categorical representation of faces: evidence from masked priming.
How internal categories influence how we perceive the world is a fundamental question in cognitive sciences. Yet, the relation between perceptual awareness and perceptual categorization has remained largely uncovered so far. Here, we addressed this question by focusing on face perception during subliminal and conscious perception. We used morphed continua between two face identities and we asse...
