Neural mechanisms of coarse-to-fine discrimination in the visual cortex.
Vision is a dynamic process that refines the spatial scale of analysis over time, as evidenced by a progressive improvement in the ability to detect and discriminate finer details. To understand coarse-to-fine discrimination, we studied the dynamics of spatial frequency (SF) response using reverse correlation in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the primate. In a majority of V1 cells studied, p...
متن کاملDevelopment of monotonic neuronal tuning in the monkey inferotemporal cortex through long-term learning of fine shape discrimination
Visual expertise in discriminating fine differences among a group of similar objects can be obtained through extensive long-term training. Here we investigated the neural bases of this superior capability. The inferotemporal cortex, located at the final stage along the ventral visual pathway, was a candidate site in monkeys because cells there respond to various complex features of objects. To ...
متن کاملLinking neural representation to function in stereoscopic depth perception: roles of the middle temporal area in coarse versus fine disparity discrimination.
Neurons selective for binocular disparity form the neural substrate for stereoscopic depth perception and are found in several areas of primate visual cortex. Presumably, multiple representations of disparity exist to serve different functions, but the specific contributions of different visual areas to depth perception remain poorly understood. We examine this issue by comparing the contributi...
متن کاملPerturbation of Posterior Inferior Temporal Cortical Activity Impairs Coarse Orientation Discrimination.
It is reasonable to assume that the discrimination of simple visual stimuli depends on the activity of early visual cortical neurons, because simple visual features are supposedly coded in these areas whereas more complex features are coded in late visual areas. Recently, we showed that training monkeys in a coarse orientation discrimination task modified the response properties of single neuro...
