Multi-component correlate for lateral collinear interactions in the human visual cortex
Perceptual facilitation, a decrease in detection threshold for low-contrast Gabor patches (GPs) occurs when the GP is flanked by collinearly oriented high-contrast patches. There is earlier evidence suggesting a spatial architecture of excitatory and inhibitory interactions. Here we used Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) to study the temporal structure of this process. We measured VEPs elicited b...
متن کاملElectrophysiological correlates of lateral interactions in human visual cortex
Detection thresholds for visually presented targets can be influenced by the nature of information in adjacent regions of the visual field. For example, detection thresholds for low-contrast Gabor patches decrease when flanked by patches that are oriented collinearly rather than orthogonally with the target. Such results are consistent with the known microanatomy of primary visual cortex, where...
متن کاملDynamic causal modelling of lateral interactions in the visual cortex
This paper presents a dynamic causal model based upon neural field models of the Amari type. We consider the application of these models to non-invasive data, with a special focus on the mapping from source activity on the cortical surface to a single channel. We introduce a neural field model based upon the canonical microcircuit (CMC), in which neuronal populations are assigned to different c...
متن کاملTemporal asymmetry of collinear lateral interactions
The visibility of a target improves when the target is presented simultaneously or with a delay between two collinear flankers. Here we tested the temporal properties of lateral facilitation by manipulating the timing of both onsets and offsets of the target and flankers. The results show that lateral facilitation critically depends on the order of presentation of the target and flankers. A typ...
متن کاملTop-down modulation of lateral interactions in visual cortex.
The primary visual cortex (V1) changes its computation according to the perceptual task being performed. We propose that this cognitive modulation results from gating of V1 intrinsic connections. To test this idea, using behavioral paradigms that engage top-down modulation of V1 contextual interactions, we recorded from chronically implanted electrode arrays in macaques. We observed task-depend...
