Optimality of Human Contour Integration
For processing and segmenting visual scenes, the brain is required to combine a multitude of features and sensory channels. It is neither known if these complex tasks involve optimal integration of information, nor according to which objectives computations might be performed. Here, we investigate if optimal inference can explain contour integration in human subjects. We performed experiments w...
متن کاملContour Integration Models Predicting Human Behavior
Contour integration is believed to be a fundamental process in object recognition and image segmentation. However, its neuronal mechanisms are still not well understood. Psychophysical experiments showed that humans are remarkably efficient in integrating contours even if these are jittered or partially occluded. Therefore the brain requires a reliable algorithm for extracting contours from sti...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Contour Tracking of Microtubules
Microtubules (MTs), one of three major cytoskeletal components, serve numerous critical functions in cells. Mechanistically, MTs are not static polymers; rather, they can be very dynamic and their precise patterns of growing and shortening behaviors are critical to their many functions. Among the challenges confronting modern molecular cell biology is to accurately and thoroughly quantify the d...
متن کاملHow long range is contour integration in human color vision?
We quantified and compared the effect of element spacing on contour integration between the achromatic (Ach), red-green (RG), and blue-yellow (BY) mechanisms. The task requires the linking of orientation across space to detect a contour in a stimulus composed of randomly oriented Gabor elements (1.5 cpd, sigma = 0.17 deg), measured using a temporal 2AFC method. A contour of ten elements was pas...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Dynamics of Word Processing in the Human Brain
We examined the spatiotemporal dynamics of word processing by recording the electrocorticogram (ECoG) from the lateral frontotemporal cortex of neurosurgical patients chronically implanted with subdural electrode grids. Subjects engaged in a target detection task where proper names served as infrequent targets embedded in a stream of task-irrelevant verbs and nonwords. Verbs described actions r...
