    The Physiology and Computation of Pyramidal Neurons Thesis by Adam Shai In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Bioengineering CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2016 (Defended December 8, 2015) ii © 2016 Adam Shai All Rights Reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “Sitting in the gaudy radiance of those windows hearing the organ play and the choir sing, his mind pleasantly intoxicated from exhaustion, Daniel experienced a faint echo of what it must be like, all the time, to be Isaac Newton: a permanent ongoing epiphany, an endless immersion in lurid radiance, a drowning in light, a ringing of cosmic harmonies in the ears.” Neal Stephenson in Quicksilver Sometimes it feels as if graduate school was designed specifically to keep a certain type of soul happy. Those of us whose obsessions tend to overtake polite conversation, betraying either a slight social ineptitude or quirky personality trait, depending on who you ask, tend to find a home in the academic life. That such a setting was afforded to me requires my unrelenting thanks. I cannot think of a more joyous situation than the last six years of my life, where I was expected and able to be thinking intensely about what I wanted to think about. I came to Caltech primarily as a result of an interesting conversation with Christof Koch, about consciousness, quantum mechanics, and art, when I first visited during the winter of 2009. That he became my advisor guaranteed that I would be cared for during my graduate studies. Christof takes the calling of Doktorvater seriously. The environment of K-lab, by Christof’s example and design, was one of intense intellectual playfulness.

  • Symmetric Networks with Geometric Constraints As Models of Visual Illusions
    S S symmetry Article Symmetric Networks with Geometric Constraints as Models of Visual Illusions Ian Stewart 1,*,† and Martin Golubitsky 2,† 1 Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK 2 Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 17 May 2019; Accepted: 13 June 2019; Published: 16 June 2019 Abstract: Multistable illusions occur when the visual system interprets the same image in two different ways. We model illusions using dynamic systems based on Wilson networks, which detect combinations of levels of attributes of the image. In most examples presented here, the network has symmetry, which is vital to the analysis of the dynamics. We assume that the visual system has previously learned that certain combinations are geometrically consistent or inconsistent, and model this knowledge by adding suitable excitatory and inhibitory connections between attribute levels. We first discuss 4-node networks for the Necker cube and the rabbit/duck illusion. The main results analyze a more elaborate model for the Necker cube, a 16-node Wilson network whose nodes represent alternative orientations of specific segments of the image. Symmetric Hopf bifurcation is used to show that a small list of natural local geometric consistency conditions leads to alternation between two global percepts: cubes in two different orientations. The model also predicts brief transitional states in which the percept involves impossible rectangles analogous to the Penrose triangle. A tristable illusion generalizing the Necker cube is modelled in a similar manner.

HACKETT BSE University of Central Florida 2007, MSE University of Florida 2009, MS University of Central Florida 2012 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Modeling and Simulation program in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2018 Major Professor: Michael Proctor ©2018 Matthew Hackett ii ABSTRACT The study of anatomy is complex and difficult for students in both graduate and undergraduate education. Researchers have attempted to improve anatomical education with the inclusion of three-dimensional visualization, with the prevailing finding that 3D is beneficial to students. However, there is limited research on the relative efficacy of different 3D modalities, including monoscopic, stereoscopic, and autostereoscopic displays. This study analyzes educational performance, confidence, cognitive load, visual-spatial ability, and technology acceptance in participants using autostereoscopic 3D visualization (holograms), monoscopic 3D visualization (3DPDFs), and a control visualization (2D printed images). Participants were randomized into three treatment groups: holograms (n=60), 3DPDFs (n=60), and printed images (n=59). Participants completed a pre-test followed by a self-study period using the treatment visualization. Immediately following the study period, participants completed the NASA TLX cognitive load instrument, a technology acceptance instrument, visual-spatial ability instruments, a confidence instrument, and a post-test. Post-test results showed the hologram treatment group (Mdn=80.0) performed significantly better than both 3DPDF (Mdn=66.7, p=.008) and printed images (Mdn=66.7, p=.007).

  • The Macaque Face Patch System: a Window Into Object Representation
    Downloaded from symposium.cshlp.org on August 3, 2015 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The Macaque Face Patch System: A Window into Object Representation DORIS TSAO Division of Biology and Biological Engineering and Computation and Neural Systems, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125 Correspondence: [email protected] The macaque brain contains a set of regions that show stronger fMRI activation to faces than other classes of object. This “face patch system” has provided a unique opportunity to gain insight into the organizing principles of IT cortex and to dissect the neural mechanisms underlying form perception, because the system is specialized to process one class of complex forms, and because its computational components are spatially segregated. Over the past 5 years, we have set out to exploit this system to clarify the nature of object representation in the brain through a multilevel approach combining electrophysiology, anatomy, and behavior. These experiments reveal (1) a remarkably precise connectivity of face patches to each other, (2) a functional hierarchy for representation of view-invariant identity comprising at least three distinct stages along the face patch system, and (3) the computational mechanisms used by cells in face patches to detect and recognize faces, including measurement of diagnostic local contrast features for detection and measurement of face feature values for recognition. How does the brain represent objects? This question nature of these steps remains a mystery. One major trans- had its beginnings in philosophy. Our fundamental intu- formation appears to be segmentation (i.e., organizing ition of the physical world consists of a space containing visual information into discrete pieces corresponding to objects, and philosophers starting from Plato wondered different objects) (Zhou et al.

Abstract: Both static and dynamic ambiguous stimuli representing human bodies that perform unimanual or unipedal movements are usually interpreted as right-limbed rather than left-limbed, suggesting that human observers attend to the right side of others more than the left one. Moreover, such a bias is stronger when static human silhouettes are presented in the RVF (right visual field) than in the LVF (left visual field), which might represent a particular instance of embodiment. On the other hand, hemispheric-specific rotational biases, combined with the well-known bias to perceive forward-facing figures, could represent a confounding factor when accounting for such findings. Therefore, we investigated whether the lateralized presentation of an ambiguous rotating human body would affect its perceived handedness/footedness (implying a role of motor representations), Citation: Lucafò, C.; Marzoli, D.; its perceived spinning direction (implying a role of visual representations), or both. To this aim, we Padulo, C.; Troiano, S.; required participants to indicate the perceived spinning direction (which also unveils the perceived Pelosi Zazzerini, L.; Malatesta, G.; handedness/footedness) of ambiguous stimuli depicting humans with an arm or a leg outstretched.
