متن کاملModelling a visual discrimination task
We study the performance of a spiking network model based on Integrate-andFire neurons when performing a benchmark discrimination task. The task consists of determining the direction of moving dots in a noisy context. By varying the synaptic parameters of the Integrate-and-Fire neurons, we illustrate the counter-intuitive importance of the second order statistics (input noise) in improving the ...
متن کاملPitch discrimination without awareness in congenital amusia: evidence from event-related potentials.
Congenital amusia is a lifelong disorder characterized by a difficulty in perceiving and producing music despite normal intelligence and hearing. Behavioral data have indicated that it originates from a deficit in fine-grained pitch discrimination, and is expressed by the absence of a P3b event-related brain response for pitch differences smaller than a semitone and a bigger N2b-P3b brain respo...
