Neural and behavioral mechanisms of olfactory perception.
Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have challenged existing models of olfactory processing in the vertebrate olfactory bulb and insect antennal lobe. Whereas lateral connectivity between olfactory glomeruli was previously thought to form a dense, topographically organized inhibitory surround, new evidence suggests that lateral connections may be sparse, nontopographic, and partly excitatory. O...
متن کاملNeural and behavioral investigations into timbre perception
Timbre is the attribute that distinguishes sounds of equal pitch, loudness and duration. It contributes to our perception and discrimination of different vowels and consonants in speech, instruments in music and environmental sounds. Here we begin by reviewing human timbre perception and the spectral and temporal acoustic features that give rise to timbre in speech, musical and environmental so...
متن کاملOlfactory LOVER: behavioral and neural correlates of autobiographical odor memory
Autobiographical memories (AMs) are personally experienced events that may be localized in time and space. In the present work we present an overview targeting memories evoked by the sense of smell. Overall, research indicates that autobiographical odor memory is different than memories evoked by our primary sensory systems; sight, and hearing. Here, observed differences from a behavioral and n...
متن کاملNeural Mechanisms for Auditory Perception
The long-term goal of this research is to understand the neural mechanisms that mediate the ability of normal-hearing people to understand speech and localize sounds in complex acoustic environments comprising reverberation and competing sound sources. In the past year, we continued work on two research projects: (1) Physiological studies of sound localization in reverberant environments; (2) S...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of speed perception: transparent motion.
Visual motion on the macaque retina is processed by direction- and speed-selective neurons in extrastriate middle temporal cortex (MT). There is strong evidence for a link between the activity of these neurons and direction perception. However, there is conflicting evidence for a link between speed selectivity of MT neurons and speed perception. Here we study this relationship by using a strong...
