Huxlin. Flaum Eye Institute, University of Rochester Arash Sahraie. College of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Aberdeen Every year, VSS and ARVO collaborate in a symposium - VSS at ARVO or ARVO at VSS - designed to high- light and present work from one society at the annual meeting of the other. This year’s symposium is at ARVO. Experience-dependent plasticity is closely linked with the development of sensory function. However, there is also growing evidence for plasticity in the adult visual system. This symposium re-examines the notions of critical period and sensitive period for a variety of visual functions. One critical issue is the extent to which alternative neural structures are recruited to restore these visual functions. Recent experimental and clinical evidence will be discussed for the rehabilitation of amblyopia and blindsight.

  • 1 Human Color Vision
    CAMC01 9/30/04 3:13 PM Page 1 1 Human Color Vision Color appearance models aim to extend basic colorimetry to the level of speci- fying the perceived color of stimuli in a wide variety of viewing conditions. To fully appreciate the formulation, implementation, and application of color appearance models, several fundamental topics in color science must first be understood. These are the topics of the first few chapters of this book. Since color appearance represents several of the dimensions of our visual experience, any system designed to predict correlates to these experiences must be based, to some degree, on the form and function of the human visual system. All of the color appearance models described in this book are derived with human visual function in mind. It becomes much simpler to understand the formulations of the various models if the basic anatomy, physiology, and performance of the visual system is understood. Thus, this book begins with a treatment of the human visual system. As necessitated by the limited scope available in a single chapter, this treatment of the visual system is an overview of the topics most important for an appreciation of color appearance modeling. The field of vision science is immense and fascinating. Readers are encouraged to explore the liter- ature and the many useful texts on human vision in order to gain further insight and details. Of particular note are the review paper on the mechan- isms of color vision by Lennie and D’Zmura (1988), the text on human color vision by Kaiser and Boynton (1996), the more general text on the founda- tions of vision by Wandell (1995), the comprehensive treatment by Palmer (1999), and edited collections on color vision by Backhaus et al.

Epicharmos 1 Common-sense taxonomies were, inevitably, the origin from which the natural sci- ences, at their earliest stages of development, derived their categorizations of phenom- ena. This can be witnessed by the classical division of physics into e.g. optics, acoustics, theory of heat, and mechanics. During the process of its theoretical development, phys- ics became increasingly divorced from these kinds of classifications and rather grouped phenomena in accordance with its own internal theoretical structure (the classical the- ory of heat, for instance, disintegrated into statistical mechanics, on the one hand, and electrodynamics, on the other hand). In perceptual psychology corresponding pre- theoretical classifications of phenomena are mirrored in the standard textbook organi- zation in terms of salient perceptual attributes, such as colour, depth, size, or form.

  • Measuring and Modeling the Trajectory of Visual Spatial Attention
    Psychological Review Copyright 2002 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 2002, Vol. 109, No. 2, 260–305 0033-295X/02/$5.00 DOI: 10.1037//0033-295X.109.2.260 Measuring and Modeling the Trajectory of Visual Spatial Attention Shui-I Shih George Sperling University of Southampton University of California, Irvine In a novel choice attention-gating paradigm, observers monitor a stream of 3 ϫ 3 letter arrays until a tonal cue directs them to report 1 row. Analyses of the particular arrays from which reported letters are chosen and of the joint probabilities of reporting pairs of letters are used to derive a theory of attention dynamics. An attention window opens 0.15 s following a cue to attend to a location, remains open (minimally) 0.2 s, and admits information simultaneously from all the newly attended locations. The window dynamics are independent of the distance moved. The theory accounts for about 90% of the variance from the over 400 data points obtained from each of the observers in the 3 experiments reported here. With minor elaborations, it applies to all the principal paradigms used to study the dynamics of visual spatial attention. We explored a method of measuring the trajectory of spatial strong test of the possibility of equivalent attention trajectories in attention that is analogous to measuring the trajectory of subatomic different experimental paradigms requires that all paradigms be particles in a Glaser bubble chamber (Gray & Isaacs, 1975).

  • Cognitive Functions of the Brain: Perception, Attention and Memory
    IFM LAB TUTORIAL SERIES # 6, COPYRIGHT c IFM LAB Cognitive Functions of the Brain: Perception, Attention and Memory Jiawei Zhang [email protected] Founder and Director Information Fusion and Mining Laboratory (First Version: May 2019; Revision: May 2019.) Abstract This is a follow-up tutorial article of [17] and [16], in this paper, we will introduce several important cognitive functions of the brain. Brain cognitive functions are the mental processes that allow us to receive, select, store, transform, develop, and recover information that we've received from external stimuli. This process allows us to understand and to relate to the world more effectively. Cognitive functions are brain-based skills we need to carry out any task from the simplest to the most complex. They are related with the mechanisms of how we learn, remember, problem-solve, and pay attention, etc. To be more specific, in this paper, we will talk about the perception, attention and memory functions of the human brain. Several other brain cognitive functions, e.g., arousal, decision making, natural language, motor coordination, planning, problem solving and thinking, will be added to this paper in the later versions, respectively. Many of the materials used in this paper are from wikipedia and several other neuroscience introductory articles, which will be properly cited in this paper. This is the last of the three tutorial articles about the brain. The readers are suggested to read this paper after the previous two tutorial articles on brain structure and functions [17] as well as the brain basic neural units [16].

[email protected] 2 During the past few decades our understanding of the neural bases of visual perception and visually guided actions has advanced greatly; the chapters in this volume amply document these advances. It is fair to say, however, that no area of visual neuroscience has enjoyed greater progress than the physiology of visual motion perception. Publications dealing with visual motion perception and its neural bases would fill volumes, and the topic remains central within the visual neuroscience literature even today. This chapter aims to provide an overview of brain mechanisms underlying human motion perception. The chapter comprises four sections. We begin with a short review of the motion pathways in the primate visual system, emphasizing work from single-cell recordings in Old World monkeys; more extensive reviews of this literature appear elsewhere.1,2 With this backdrop in place, the next three sections concentrate on striate and extra-striate areas in the human brain that are implicated in the perception of motion.

ARTICLES NEUROIMAGING AND THE "COMPLEXITY" OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT 0. CARTER SNEAD* The growing use of brain imaging technology to explore the causes of morally, socially, and legally relevant behavior is the subject of much discussion and contro- versy in both scholarly and popular circles. From the efforts of cognitive neuros- cientists in the courtroom and the public square, the contours of a project to transform capital sentencing both in principle and in practice have emerged. In the short term, these scientists seek to play a role in the process of capitalsentencing by serving as mitigation experts for defendants, invoking neuroimaging research on the roots of criminal violence to support their arguments. Over the long term, these same experts (and their like-minded colleagues) hope to appeal to the recent find- ings of their discipline to embarrass, discredit, and ultimately overthrow retributive justice as a principle of punishment.
