She completed her undergradu- ate degree in Psychology at the University of Crete before coming to the United States to begin her graduate studies at Rutgers University, in the laboratory of Maggie Shifrar. After receiving her Ph.D. in Psychology in 1998 she spent a year as a postdoctoral student with Ken Nakayama and Nancy Kanwisher. She then moved to Germany to join the laboratory of Nikos Logothetis at Max Planck Institute in Tubingen. In 2005 Zoë moved to the University of Birming- ham to assume her fi rst faculty position. While a graduate and then a postdoctoral student Zoë has been exception- ally productive, publishing over 30 papers in high quality journals. In her research she employs psychophysical and multimodal imaging methods (fMRI, EEG, MEG) to inves- tigate the neural substrates of coherent visual perception in the human brain. Statement From the VSS Young Investigator Award Committee “The Award Committee recognized Zoë’s many outstand- ing fMRI studies that characterized the neural loci of shape processing in the human cortex.

  • On May 8Th, 2008 Human Brain Mapping (HBM) Published a Paper by A
    Date: 16 June 2008 Dear Editors and Colleagues: On May 8th, 2008 Human Brain Mapping (HBM) published a paper by A. Shmuel and D. Leopold entitled “Neuronal correlates of spontaneous fluctuations in fMRI signals in monkey visual cortex: Implications for functional connectivity at rest” (DOI: 10.1002/hbm.20580). The authors are former postdoctoral fellows of mine and the data were collected in my laboratory, so it is with some unhappiness that I write to you to disavow the paper’s contents and conclusions, and to let you know that my colleagues and I are preparing a rebuttal for publication. My objections to the paper are both technical and ethical. The technical problem is that most of the measurements reported in the paper to be “at rest” were taken from the prestimulus interval of long observation periods with multiple trials during which visual stimuli were presented. The data came from another study of my laboratory (Shmuel, Augath, Oeltermann and Logothetis, 2006). In fact, a grey screen with a significant flicker at 30 and 60 Hz evoked electrical cortical activity, making it wrong to suppose that the comparison of neural with hemodynamic signals was within a rest period during which spontaneous activity alone prevailed (details in the rebuttal). This renders the conclusion in the paper, and thus the paper itself, invalid. These points were pointed out to the authors and to the editors as well, but the editors chose to accept it even in spite of the questionable ethical conduct of the authors, which the editors were also aware of, or should have been aware of (see below).

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The an ture and timing of tele-pseudoscopic experiences Abstract Interchanging the left nda right eye views of a scene (pseudoscopic viewing) has been reported to produce vivid stereoscopic effects under certain conditions. In two separate field studies, we examined the experiences of 124 observers (76 in Study 1 and 48 in Study 2) while pseudoscopically viewing a distant natural outdoor scene. We found large individual differences in both the nature and the timing of their pseudoscopic experiences. While some observers failed to notice anything unusual about the pseudoscopic scene, most experienced multiple pseudoscopic phenomena, including apparent scene depth reversals, apparent object shape reversals, apparent size and flatness changes, apparent reversals of border ownership, and even complex illusory foreground surfaces. When multiple effects were experienced, patterns of cooccurrence suggested possible causal relationships between apparent scene depth reversals and several other pseudoscopic phenomena. The al tency for experiencing pseudoscopic phenomena was found to correlate significantly with observer visual acuity, but not stereoacuity, in both studies.

  • Depth Inversion Despite Stereopsis: the Appearance of Random-Dot Stereograms on Surfaces Seen in Reverse Perspective
    Perception, 1979, volume 8, pages 135-142 Depth inversion despite stereopsis: the appearance of random-dot stereograms on surfaces seen in reverse perspective John I Yellott, Jr, Jerry L Kaiwi Cognitive Science Group, School of Social Sciences, University of California at Irvine, Irvine, California 92717, USA Received 20 October 1977, in revised form 18 October 1978 Abstract. Inside-out relief masks of faces can be depth-inverted (i.e. seen in reverse perspective) during close-up binocular viewing. If a random-dot stereogram is projected onto such a mask, stereopsis can be achieved for the stereogram, and its depth planes are correctly seen while the mask itself, including the region covered by the stereogram, is simultaneously perceived as depth- inverted. This demonstration shows that binocular depth inversion cannot be explained by a complete loss of stereoscopic information (e.g. through monocular suppression), or by a process analogous to pseudoscopic viewing whereby retinal disparities are incorporated into perception, but with their signs uniformly reversed. 1 Introduction Reversible perspective is probably most often thought of in connection with ambiguous pictures like the Necker cube (figure la), but it is also well-known that depth reversals can sometimes be experienced with solid objects, and with far more dramatic perceptual consequences. [Gregory (1970) describes these in detail; Helmholtz (1925) reviews references back to 1712, and Hochberg (1972) and Robinson (1972) review the modern literature, which is surprisingly thin.] In this note we use 'depth inversion' to refer specifically to this second kind of reversible perspective, in which real objects (rather than depicted ones) are perceived, from the standpoint of depth, as inside-out, so that their concave surfaces appear convex and vice versa.

  • Consciousness, Accessibility, and the Mesh Between Psychology and Neuroscience
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2007) 30, 481–548 Printed in the United States of America doi: 10.1017/S0140525X07002786 Consciousness, accessibility, and the mesh between psychology and neuroscience Ned Block Department of Philosophy, New York University, New York, NY 10003 [email protected] Abstract: How can we disentangle the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness from the neural machinery of the cognitive access that underlies reports of phenomenal consciousness? We see the problem in stark form if we ask how we can tell whether representations inside a Fodorian module are phenomenally conscious. The methodology would seem straightforward: Find the neural natural kinds that are the basis of phenomenal consciousness in clear cases – when subjects are completely confident and we have no reason to doubt their authority – and look to see whether those neural natural kinds exist within Fodorian modules. But a puzzle arises: Do we include the machinery underlying reportability within the neural natural kinds of the clear cases? If the answer is “Yes,” then there can be no phenomenally conscious representations in Fodorian modules. But how can we know if the answer is “Yes”? The suggested methodology requires an answer to the question it was supposed to answer! This target article argues for an abstract solution to the problem and exhibits a source of empirical data that is relevant, data that show that in a certain sense phenomenal consciousness overflows cognitive accessibility. I argue that we can find a neural realizer of this overflow if we assume that the neural basis of phenomenal consciousness does not include the neural basis of cognitive accessibility and that this assumption is justified (other things being equal) by the explanations it allows.

  • On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness
    On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness David J. Chalmers Philosophy Program Research School of Social Sciences Australian National University I will discuss one aspect of the role that neuroscience plays in the search for a theory of consciousness. Whether or not neuroscience can solve all the problems of consciousness singlehandedly, it undoubtedly has a major role to play. Recent years have seen striking progress in neurobiological research bearing on the problems of consciousness. The conceptual foundations of this sort of research, however, are only beginning to be laid. I will look at some of the things that are going on, from a philosopher’s perspective, and will try to say something helpful about these foundations. We have all been hearing a lot about the “neural correlate of consciousness”. This phrase is intended to refer to the neural system or systems primarily associated with conscious experience. The acronym of the day is “NCC”. We all have an NCC inside our head, we just have to find out what it is. In recent years we have seen quite a few proposals about the identity of the NCC. One of the most famous proposals is Crick and Koch’s suggestion concerning 40-hertz oscillations. That proposal has since faded away a little but there are all sorts of other suggestions out there. The picture is almost reminiscent of particle physics, where they have something like 236 particles and people talk about the “particle zoo”. In studying consciousness, one might talk about the “neural correlate zoo”. A brief list of suggestions that have been put forward includes: • 40-hertz oscillations in the cerebral cortex (Crick and Koch 1990).
