Duplex perception: some initial findings concerning its neural basis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Duplex perception is the simultaneous perception of a speech syllable and of a nonspeech "chirp," and occurs when a single formant transition and the remainder (the "base") of a synthetic syllable are presented to different ears. The current study found a slight but nonsignificant advantage for correct labeling of the fused syllable when the chirp was presented to the left ear. This advantage was amplified in the performance of a "split-brain" subject. A subject with a left pontine lesion performed at chance level when the chirp was presented to her left ear. These findings suggest that some, if not complete, ipsilateral suppression does occur in the dichotic fusion procedure, and that identification of the fused syllable is maximal when the left hemisphere fully processes the linguistic characteristics of the base (through contralateral presentation), and at least minimally processes the frequency transition information of the chirp (through ipsilateral presentation).

Over my fake body: body ownership illusions for studying the multisensory basis of own-body perception
Which is my body and how do I distinguish it from the bodies of others, or from objects in the surrounding environment? The perception of our own body and more particularly our sense of body ownership is taken for granted. Nevertheless, experimental findings from body ownership illusions (BOIs), show that under specific multisensory conditions, we can experience artificial body parts or fake bo...
متن کاملComparing Two Methods of Neural Networks to Evaluate Dead Oil Viscosity
Reservoir characterization and asset management require comprehensive information about formation fluids. In fact, it is not possible to find accurate solutions to many petroleum engineering problems without having accurate pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data. Traditionally, fluid information has been obtained by capturing samples and then by measuring the PVT properties in a laboratory. In ...
متن کاملA model of visual motion perception
The neural mechanisms underlying the segregation and integration of detected motion still remain unclear to a large extent. Motion of an extended boundary can locally be measured by neurons only orthogonal to its orientation (aperture problem) while this ambiguity is resolved for localized image features, e.g. corners or non-occlusion junctions. In this thesis, a novel neural model of visual mo...
متن کاملIntermittent ambiguous stimuli: implicit memory causes periodic perceptual alternations.
When viewing a stimulus that has multiple plausible real-world interpretations, perception alternates between these interpretations every few seconds. Alternations can be halted by intermittently removing the stimulus from view. The same interpretation dominates over many successive presentations, and perception stabilizes. Here we study perception during long sessions of such intermittent pres...
