Age-equivalent Top-Down Modulation during Cross-modal Selective Attention
Selective attention involves top-down modulation of sensory cortical areas, such that responses to relevant information are enhanced whereas responses to irrelevant information are suppressed. Suppression of irrelevant information, unlike enhancement of relevant information, has been shown to be deficient in aging. Although these attentional mechanisms have been well characterized within the vi...
متن کاملTop-Down Signals in Visual Selective Attention
This thesis describes experimental work on the brain mechanisms underlying human visual selective attention, with a focus on top-down activity changes in visual cortex. Using a combination of methods, the experiments addressed related questions concerning the functional significance and putative origins of such activity modulations due to selective attention. More specifically, the experiment d...
متن کاملTop-Down Control of Cortical State
Sensory cortices receive inputs not only from thalamus but also from higher-order cortical regions. Here, Zagha et al. (2013) show that motor cortical inputs can switch barrel cortex into a desynchronized state that enables more faithful representation of subtle sensory stimuli.
متن کاملSelective modulation of cortical state during spatial attention.
Neocortical activity is permeated with endogenously generated fluctuations, but how these dynamics affect goal-directed behavior remains a mystery. We found that ensemble neural activity in primate visual cortex spontaneously fluctuated between phases of vigorous (On) and faint (Off) spiking synchronously across cortical layers. These On-Off dynamics, reflecting global changes in cortical state...
متن کاملSequential recognition of superimposed patterns with top-down selective attention
Top–down attention is a cognitive mechanism to ,lter out irrelevant information from sensory input. Unlike bottom–up attention based on the sensory signal itself the top–down attention process is originated from the higher brain, which consists of previous knowledge about the sensory signals. A simple computational model is developed for the top–down attention. In this model an attention gain c...
