Selective Tuning: Feature Binding Through Selective Attention
We present a biologically plausible computational model for solving the visual binding problem. The binding problem appears due to the distributed nature of visual processing in the primate brain, and the gradual loss of spatial information along the processing hierarchy. The model relies on the reentrant connections so ubiquitous in the primate brain to recover spatial information, and thus al...
متن کاملNeural Changes Associated with Nonspeech Auditory Category Learning Parallel Those of Speech Category Acquisition
Native language experience plays a critical role in shaping speech categorization, but the exact mechanisms by which it does so are not well understood. Investigating category learning of nonspeech sounds with which listeners have no prior experience allows their experience to be systematically controlled in a way that is impossible to achieve by studying natural speech acquisition, and it prov...
متن کاملFine frequency tuning in monkey auditory cortex and thalamus.
The frequency resolution of neurons throughout the ascending auditory pathway is important for understanding how sounds are processed. In many animal studies, the frequency tuning widths are about 1/5th octave wide in auditory nerve fibers and much wider in auditory cortex neurons. Psychophysical studies show that humans are capable of discriminating far finer frequency differences. A recent st...
متن کاملTitle: Fine Frequency Tuning in Monkey Auditory Cortex and Thalamus
23 The frequency resolution of auditory neurons throughout the ascending auditory pathway 24 is an important parameter for understanding how sounds are processed. It has been shown in 25 previous animal studies that the frequency tuning widths are about 1/5 octave wide in auditory 26 nerve fibers and much wider in auditory cortex neurons (Pickles, 1979; McLaughlin et al., 2008; 27 see Table 1)....
متن کاملMusic training relates to the development of neural mechanisms of selective auditory attention
Selective attention decreases trial-to-trial variability in cortical auditory-evoked activity. This effect increases over the course of maturation, potentially reflecting the gradual development of selective attention and inhibitory control. Work in adults indicates that music training may alter the development of this neural response characteristic, especially over brain regions associated wit...
