Exploiting multiple sensory modalities in brain-machine interfaces
Recent improvements in cortically-controlled brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have raised hopes that such technologies may improve the quality of life of severely motor-disabled patients. However, current generation BMIs do not perform up to their potential due to the neglect of the full range of sensory feedback in their strategies for training and control. Here we confirm that neurons in the p...
متن کاملDirecting attention to locations and to sensory modalities: multiple levels of selective processing revealed with PET.
We used positron emission tomography (PET) to investigate the neural correlates of selective attention in humans. We examined the effects of attending to one side of space versus another (spatial selection) and to one sensory modality versus another (intermodal selection) during bilateral, bimodal stimulation of vision and touch. Attention toward one side resulted in greater activity in several...
متن کاملSystematicity and specialization in semantics
Most models of cognitive processing assume a considerable amount of built-in structure in the cognitive system, such as modality-specific semantic systems. Such structural distinctions are thought to be necessary to account for various neuropsychological dissociations, including the selective impairment of visual object naming with spared tactile naming and visual gesturing, known as optic apha...
متن کاملRepellents: Integrating Sensory Modalities
Recommendations for managing wildlife damage situations often involve application of multiple methods or techniques. The basis for such recommendations is unclear as there is little evidence that such combinations of methods work more effectively than the individual methods alone. In order to improve beyond hit or miss repellent applications, we should adopt principles exhibited in nature and d...
متن کاملSensory modalities are not separate modalities: plasticity and interactions.
Historically, perception has been viewed as a modular function, with the different sensory modalities operating independently of each other. Recent behavioral and brain imaging studies challenge this view, by suggesting that cross-modal interactions are the rule and not the exception in perception, and that the cortical pathways previously thought to be sensory-specific are modulated by signals...
