چکیده

During pursuit of a circularly moving target, the perceived movement of a second circularly moving target is altered. The perceived movement of the non-pursued target is different from both its real movement path and its retinal path. In the present paper this phenomenon is studied using a physiologically based neural network model. Simulation results were compared to psychophysical findings in human subjects. Model simulations enabled us to suggest an explanation for this phenomenon in terms of underlying physiological mechanisms and to estimate the contribution of the efferent eye-movement signal to the perceptual process.

Suppression of motion-produced smear during smooth pursuit eye movements

Humans make smooth tracking eye movements to keep the image of a moving target on the foveal region of the retina and, thereby, maintain acute vision. Although the images of physically stationary background stimuli sweep across the retina during smooth pursuit eye movements, non-pursued targets are usually perceived to be neither moving nor smeared. The lack of perceived movement of background ...

The default allocation of attention is broadly ahead of smooth pursuit.

When moving through our environment, it is vital to preferentially process positions on our future path in order to react quickly to critical situations. During smooth pursuit, attention may be directed ahead with either a focused locus or a broad bias. We examined the 2D spatial extent of attention during a smooth pursuit task using both saccade (SRT) and manual (MRT) reaction times as measure...

Delineation of Alteration Zones Based on Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) and Concentration–Volume (C-V) Fractal Methods in the Hypogene Zone of Porphyry Copper Deposit, Shahr-e-Babak District, SE Iran

In this paper, we aim to achieve two specific objectives. The first one is to examine the applicability of wavelet neural network (WNN) technique in ore grade estimation, which is based on integration between wavelet theory and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Different wavelets are applied as activation functions to estimate Cu grade of borehole data in the hypogene zone of porphyry ore deposi...

Design of an Intelligent Controller for Station Keeping, Attitude Control, and Path Tracking of a Quadrotor Using Recursive Neural Networks

During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...
