Tuning Curves, Neuronal Variability, and Sensory Coding
Tuning curves are widely used to characterize the responses of sensory neurons to external stimuli, but there is an ongoing debate as to their role in sensory processing. Commonly, it is assumed that a neuron's role is to encode the stimulus at the tuning curve peak, because high firing rates are the neuron's most distinct responses. In contrast, many theoretical and empirical studies have note...
متن کاملComparing Sensory Information Processing and Alexithymia between People with Substance Dependency and Normal
Background: Sensory information processing and alexithymia are two important factors in determining behavioral reactions. Some studies explain the effect of the sensitivity of sensory processing and alexithymia in the tendency to substance abuse. Giving that, the aim of the current study was to compare the styles of sensory information processing and alexithymia between substance-dependent peop...
متن کاملSpontaneous Fluctuations in Sensory Processing Predict Within-Subject Reaction Time Variability
When engaged in a repetitive task our performance fluctuates from trial-to-trial. In particular, inter-trial reaction time variability has been the subject of considerable research. It has been claimed to be a strong biomarker of attention deficits, increases with frontal dysfunction, and predicts age-related cognitive decline. Thus, rather than being just a consequence of noise in the system, ...
متن کاملThe Relationships of Sensory Processing Sensitivity and Information Processing Styles to Clinical Symptoms in Drug-Dependent Individuals
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the roles of sensory processing sensitivity and information processing styles in predicting clinical symptoms in drug-dependent individuals. Method: The current study was correlational-descriptive. The statistical population included all drug-dependent individuals referred to addiction treatment centers in Tabriz. Among them, 290 people were selec...
متن کاملParallels between sensory and motor information processing
The computational problems solved by the sensory and motor systems appear very different: one has to do with inferring the state of the world given sensory data, the other with generating motor commands appropriate for given task goals. However recent mathematical developments summarized in this chapter show that these two problems are in many ways related. Therefore information processing in t...
