How is sensory information processed?

چکیده
Advances in statistical learning theory leave us with many possible designs of learning machines. But which of them are implemented by brains, metabolic and genetic networks, and other biological information processors? We analyze how abstract Bayesian learners would perform on different data and discuss possible experiments that can determine which learning–theoretic computation is performed by a particular organism.

How do we get negation without symbols?
Traditionally, negation has been viewed as a symbolic process. In this two-step account, a negation operator is applied to the affirmative version of a sentence to construct the negated form. However, a recent model (Huette and Anderson 2012) has demonstrated that negation can be processed by a simple recurrent network trained to simulate sensory information when given linguistic input. While t...
متن کاملNeuronal circuits controlling flight in the locust: how sensory information is processed for control
Animals abstract relevant information from a profusion of diverse stimuli and then organize appropriate behavioral responses. How is this done? A partial answer comes from studies on the flight steering system of the locust where multiple sensory systems have been shown to interact and shape the response properties of deviationspecific detector neurons. These sensory detector neurons project to...
متن کاملFeature integration across multimodal perception and action: a review.
The human brain is facing a continuous stream of stimulus information delivered by multiple modalities and sensory channels and processed in distinct cortical regions. We discuss recent empirical and theoretical developments in addressing the question of how this distributed information is integrated into coherent representations (the so-called binding problem) with an emphasis on the principle...
متن کاملBy Ladan Shams
It is clear that the information processed by the different sensory modalities are integrated into a coherent multisensory percept by the brain. However, it is not known how, nor at what level of processing, nor where in the brain this integration takes place. As a result, it is also not clear whether the combination of signals from different modalities occurs prior to or following conscious se...
متن کاملSelf-localization and the entorhinal-hippocampal system.
Self-localization requires that information from several sensory modalities and knowledge domains be integrated in order to identify an environment and determine current location and heading. This integration occurs by the convergence of highly processed sensory information onto neural systems in entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Entorhinal neurons combine angular and linear self-motion inform...
متن کاملMultimodal integration: Resolving sensory ambiguities to build novel representations
Summary—Multisensory integration plays several important roles in the nervous system. One is to combine information from multiple complementary cues to improve stimulus detection and discrimination. Another is to resolve peripheral sensory ambiguities and create novel internal representations that do not exist at the level of individual sensors. Here we focus on how ambiguities inherent in vest...
