Linking Perception, Cognition, and Action: Psychophysical Observations and Neural Network Modelling

Linking Perception, Cognition, and Action: Psychophysical Observations and Neural Network Modelling

It has been argued that perception, decision making, and movement planning are in reality tightly interwoven brain processes. However, how they are implemented in neural circuits is still a matter of debate. We tested human subjects in a temporal categorization task in which intervals had to be categorized as short or long. Subjects communicated their decision by moving a cursor into one of two...

Linking perception and cognition

As our primary mode of contact with the world, perception is the causal and informational foundation for our higher cognitive functions—it guides our thinking about and acting upon the world. It is therefore unsurprising that so much empirical and theoretical research is devoted to the study of the complex interrelations between perception and cognition. Nor is it surprising that such research ...

scour modeling piles of kambuzia industrial city bridge using hec-ras and artificial neural network

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Behaviorism Revisited: Linking Perception and Action Through Symbolic Models of Cognition

Brain simulations as performed today in computational neuroscience rely on analytical methods i.e., mainly differential equations, to model physical processes. The question then arises: will cognitive abilities of real brains spontaneously emerge from these simulations, or should they be encoded and executed on top of them, similarly to the way computer software runs on hardware? Towards this l...
