Thinking in spatial terms: decoupling spatial representation from sensorimotor control in monkey posterior parietal areas 7a and LIP
Perhaps the simplest and most complete description of the cerebral cortex is that it is a sensorimotor controller whose primary purpose is to represent stimuli and movements, and adaptively control the mapping between them. However, in order to think, the cerebral cortex has to generate patterns of neuronal activity that encode abstract, generalized information independently of ongoing sensorim...
متن کاملProbabilistic Inference in Human Sensorimotor Processing
When we learn a new motor skill, we have to contend with both the variability inherent in our sensors and the task. The sensory uncertainty can be reduced by using information about the distribution of previously experienced tasks. Here we impose a distribution on a novel sensorimotor task and manipulate the variability of the sensory feedback. We show that subjects internally represent both th...
متن کاملWhole-brain functional MR imaging activation from a finger-tapping task examined with independent component analysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Independent component analysis (ICA), unlike other methods for processing functional MR (fMR) imaging data, requires no a priori assumptions about the hemodynamic response to the task. The purpose of this study was to analyze the temporal characteristics and the spatial mapping of the independent components identified by ICA when the subject performs a finger-tapping task...
متن کاملProcessing spatial information in the sensorimotor branch of the visual system
We distinguish two representations of visual space: a cognitive representation drives perception, and a sensorimotor representation controls visually guided behavior. Spatial values in the two representations are separated with the Roelofs effect: a target within an off-center frame appears biased in a location opposite the direction of the frame. The effect appears for a verbal measure (cognit...
متن کاملA Sensorimotor Approach to Sound Localization
Sound localization is known to be a complex phenomenon, combining multisensory information processing, experience-dependent plasticity, and movement. Here we present a sensorimotor model that addresses the question of how an organism could learn to localize sound sources without any a priori neural representation of its head-related transfer function or prior experience with auditory spatial in...
متن کاملTask demand modulations of visuospatial processing measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Brain imaging based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a useful tool to examine neural networks and cerebral structures subserving visuospatial function. It allows not only the qualitative determination of which areas are active during task processing, but also estimates the quantitative contribution of involved brain regions to different aspects of spatial processing. In ...
