Hyperacuity and Coarse Coding
نویسنده
چکیده
In discussions of coarse coding, previous results have suggested that the larger the overlap between receptive elds is made, the sharper the achievable hyperacuity becomes. This note moderates this view by giving for an array of noisy analog receptors the scaling laws for the best achievable hyperacuity as a function of increasing receptive eld size.

Results of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography by preferential hyperacuity perimeter in patients after idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery.
PURPOSE To evaluate spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings based on preferential hyperacuity perimeter (PHP) in patients after idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery. METHODS Forty eyes of 40 patients undergoing surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane were included in the study. The best-corrected visual acuity, PHP, Amsler grid test, and OCT were assessed 3 months aft...
متن کاملAgainst hyperacuity in brain reading: Spatial smoothing does not hurt multivariate fMRI analyses?
Recently it has been suggested that multivariate analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data can detect high spatial frequency components of cortical signals, like sub-millimeter columns. This 'hyperacuity' seems to be at odds with the common assumption that the fMRI signal has a low spatial resolution due to the spatial spread of the underlying hemodynamic events. To resolve ...
متن کاملAssociation between hyperacuity defects and retinal microstructure in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
PURPOSE To improve our understanding of hyperacuity defects measured with preferential hyperacuity perimetry (PHP) by correlating PHP findings with the retinal microstructural changes visible on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight eyes of 28 patients with PCV were retrospectively review...
متن کاملHow does an fMRI voxel sample the neuronal activity pattern: Compact-kernel or complex spatiotemporal filter?
Recent studies suggested that fMRI voxel patterns can convey information represented in columnar-scale neuronal population codes, even when spatial resolution is insufficient to directly image the patterns of columnar selectivity (Kamitani and Tong, 2005; Haynes and Rees, 2005). Sensitivity to subvoxel-scale pattern information, or "fMRI hyperacuity," would greatly enhance the power of fMRI whe...
متن کاملCharacteristics of hyperacuity sensitivity in normal and cyclovertical deviation subjects.
PURPOSE To compare the sensitivity of hyperacuity of patients with cyclovertical deviation with that of subjects with normal vision. METHODS The sensitivity of hyperacuity was measured in 42 volunteers with normal vision and in 12 patients with cyclovertical deviation, using a newly developed computerized device that randomly presents two opposing targets at vertical or at horizontal directio...
