Order-specific and Non-specific Motion Responses in the Human Visual System

چکیده
A series of experiments measured direction discrimination in two-frame random block kinematograms. Blocks were presented against a uniform grey background, and were filled either with uniform grey (darker or brighter than the background; first-order blocks) or with random microtexture (isoluminant with the background; second-order blocks). Experiment 1 found that when blocks maintained their order from frame to frame, performance declined from near-perfect to chance levels as block displacement increased. When blocks switched order between frames, performance was generally worse (65-75% correct at best), but still above chance levels. Results from control experiments established that it is important to remove intensity cues in second-order patterns using a psychophysical technique, and that above-chance responses with order-switching patterns persisted, even when such intensity cues were removed or randomised. The last experiment measured the effects of block density manipulation. First-order and second-order patterns showed the same decline in Dmax performance as pattern density increased, and results from patterns containing a mixture of first- and second-order blocks could be predicted from performance obtained with each set of blocks presented separately, except at very low densities. It is concluded that both order-specific and non-specific responses are available during motion analysis, but order-specific responses tend to predominate.

Short-latency category specific neural responses to human faces in macaque inferotemporal cortex
In this article I would present evidence to show that timing of the flow of neural signals within the ventral visual stream is a crucial part of the neural code for categorization of faces. We recorded the activity of 554 inferotemporal neurons from two macaque monkeys performing a fixation task. More than 1000 object images including human and non-primate animal faces were presented up to 10 t...

Background and Objective: Non-specific chronic lower back pain is the most common type of chronic lower back pain. The use of rehabilitation to achieve a more rapid improvement in patients with chronic lower back pain has always been taken into account. The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of a Pilates program on chronic non-specific lower back pain and stable range of motion...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Curcuma zedoaria and Zingiber zerumbet on non-specific immune responses of grouper (Epinephelus coioides). Fish were fed an experimental diet containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 g/kg of C. zedoaria and Z. zerumbet mixed diets twice daily for two weeks. Non-specific immune parameters such as respiratory burst activity, reactive oxygen species, phago...

متن کاملPriming Hepatitis B Surface (HBsAg)- and Core Antigen (HBcAg)-Specific Immune Responses by Chimeric, HBcAg with a HBsAg ‘a’ Determinant
We developed an immunogen to stimulate multivalent immunity against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigens (HBcAg). Immune responses specific for both HBsAg and HBcAg play an important role in controlling the infection. HBsAg-specific antibodies mediate elimination of virions at an early stage of infection and prevent the spread of virus. The immunogen was constructed...
