Visual Neuroscience: Face-Encoding Mechanisms Revealed by Adaptation
Faces convey a great variety of information, for example about the species, gender, age, identity and even mood or intentions. A recent study sheds light on the neural mechanisms for encoding a face's gaze direction.
متن کاملOrientation-selective adaptation to illusory contours in human visual cortex.
Humans can perceive illusory or subjective contours in the absence of any real physical boundaries. We used an adaptation protocol to look for orientation-selective neural responses to illusory contours defined by phase-shifted abutting line gratings in the human visual cortex. We measured functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) responses to illusory-contour test stimuli after adapting to ...
متن کاملKnowing Beans: Human Mirror Mechanisms Revealed Through Motor Adaptation
Human mirror mechanisms (MMs) respond during both performed and observed action and appear to underlie action goal recognition. We introduce a behavioral procedure for discovering and clarifying functional MM properties: blindfolded participants repeatedly move beans either toward or away from themselves to induce motor adaptation. Then, the bias for perceiving direction of ambiguous visual mov...
متن کاملA Simple Model for Solar Isorotational Contours
The solar convective zone, or SCZ, is nearly adiabatic and marginally convectively unstable. But the SCZ is also in a state of differential rotation, and its stability properties are those of a weakly magnetized gas. This renders it far more prone to rapdily growing rotational instabilities than a hydrodynamical system would be. If, however, isentropic and isorotational surfaces coincide in the...
متن کاملOrientation-selective summing mechanisms revealed in visual search
We investigated properties of the neural mechanisms that mediate detection of complex grating targets in an orientation-based visual search task. Targets and distractors were composed of small patches of compound sinusoidal gratings. Components were chosen to differ enough in spatial frequency to stimulate separate and independent mechanisms at the primary cortical layer of processing. The orie...
