Seeing mathematics: perceptual experience and brain activity in acquired synesthesia.
We studied the patient JP who has exceptional abilities to draw complex geometrical images by hand and a form of acquired synesthesia for mathematical formulas and objects, which he perceives as geometrical figures. JP sees all smooth curvatures as discrete lines, similarly regardless of scale. We carried out two preliminary investigations to establish the perceptual nature of synesthetic exper...
متن کاملOntogenetic and Experience-Dependent Changes in Defensive Behavior in Captive-Bred Hawaiian Bobtail Squid, Euprymna scolopes
Cephalopod molluscs are known for their extensive behavioral repertoire and their impressive learning abilities. Their primary defensive behaviors, such as camouflage, have received detailed study, but knowledge is limited to intensive study of relatively few species. A considerable challenge facing cephalopod research is the need to establish new models that can be captive bred, are tractable ...
متن کاملExperience-Dependent Perceptual Grouping and Object-Based Attention
Attention can be allocated to objects as well as locations, even if the objects are partially occluded. A fundamental question concerns the nature of the ‘objects’ of this attention. Recent studies show that objects can be defined based on Gestalt grouping principles, or based on familiarity. The effects of both grouping and familiarity can be understood in terms of amore general hypothesis: th...
متن کاملExperience-Dependent Perceptual Categorization in a Behaving Real-World Device
The ability of organisms to categorize objects depends on their sensory experience in an environment. We studied the role of frequency and temporal order of stimuli in perceptual categorization on Darwin VI, a neuronal model interfaced with a behaving real-world device. The model consisted of several distinct biologically based networks, representing areas of the central nervous system. Darwin ...
