Biologically Motivated Visual Attention System Using Bottom-up Saliency Map and Top-down Inhibition

In this paper, we propose a trainable selective attention model that can inhibit an unwanted salient area and only focus on an interesting area in a static natural scene. The proposed model was implemented by the bottom-up saliency map model in conjunction with the modified adaptive resonance theory (ART) network model. The bottom-up saliency map model generates a salient area based on intensit...

the impact of explicit instruction of top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension of intermediate efl learners

this study investigated (a) the learners’ existing reading strategy repertoire, (b) the effect of instruction in reading strategies on learners’ strategic performance, and (c) the effect of explicit instruction in top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension ability of intermediate learners. the study was conducted with 40 intermediate efl learners in two groups of experimental and cont...

Event-Related Potentials of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Processing of Emotional Faces

Introduction: Emotional stimulus is processed automatically in a bottom-up way or can be processed voluntarily in a top-down way. Imaging studies have indicated that bottom-up and top-down processing are mediated through different neural systems. However, temporal differentiation of top-down versus bottom-up processing of facial emotional expressions has remained to be clarified. The present st...

Jakob Hohwy Top - Down and Bottom - Up in Delusion Formation

SOME DELUSIONS MAY arise as responses to unusual experiences (Davies et al. 2001; Maher 1974;). The implication is that delusion formation in some cases involves some kind of bottom-up mechanism—roughly, from perception to belief. Delusion formation may also involve some kind of top-down mechanism. This could be in the shape of a patient’s flawed background beliefs, or biases, which somehow mod...
