Q

explain the the What pathway has what kind of cells

A

P ganglion cells receive inputs from midget bipolar cells (1 cone per midget cell). P cells project to the parvocellular layers of the LGN.

P ganglion cells have small receptive fields. The high-resolution information coming from these P cells is at the origings of the ventral «what» pathway

Q

explain Interocular transfer and how it relates to MAE

A

MAE exhibits interocular transfer.

- > Therefore, MAE must occur in neurons that 	respond to both eyes.
- > Input from both eyes is combined in area V1, so 	MAE must be in V1 or later.
- > Recent studies with fMRI confirm that adaptation in 	MT is responsible for MAE.

Q

A

An object that is defined by changes in contrast or texture, but not by luminance.
Indicates that the visual system does not simply track objects’ positions over time to calculate movement, as this display demonstrates (since there are no objects to track!).

Q

Why do we perceive the finger to be in motion in the first case, but perceive the fixation point to be stationary in the second case? After all, both items moved across our retinas to the left.

A

-> Because in the second case there was an eye movement

Q

what is Saccade:

A

A type of eye movement, made both voluntarily and involuntarily, in which the eyes rapidly change fixation from one object or location to another (3-4 seconds every second).

Q

what is Vergence:

A

A type of eye movement, both voluntary and involuntary, in which the two eyes move in opposite directions.

27
Q

give the two types of Vergence

A

Convergent eye movements turn the eyes inward

Divergent eye movements turn the eyes outward.

28
Q

what is Reflexive eye movements:

A

automatic and involuntary eye movements.

29
Q

what isMicrosaccade

A

an involuntary small jerklike eye movement.

30
Q

what is the purpose of Microsaccade

A
  • prevent visual fading
    • allowing us to see behind the blood vessels in our eye
    • improve visibility of sharp details
    • compensate for the sudden loss of acuity a few minutes outside of the fovea
31
Q

when the eyes move to compensate for head and body movement while maintaining fixation on a particular target.

this is an example of what

A

Reflexive eye movements

32
Q

what is the Control of eye movements

A

Controlled by an extensive network of structures in the brain

Superior colliculus
Frontal eye field
Saccadic suppression:
Comparator

Six muscles are attached to each eye and are arranged in three pairs

33
Q

what does the Superior colliculus do

A

A structure in the midbrain that is important in initiating and guiding eye movements.

34
Q

do all the neurons in the SC produce the same eye movements

A

Different neurons in the SC produce different eye movements (e.g., left, up, etc.)

35
Q

what is the Frontal eye field

A

A structure in the frontal lobe that is important in initiating and guiding eye movements

36
Q

Different neurons in the FEF will do what

A

move the eye to different spots in space (irrespective of the actual movement required

37
Q

what is Saccadic suppression

A

The reduction of visual sensitivity that occurs when we make saccadic eye movements.

38
Q

Saccadic suppression eliminates what

A

the smear from retinal image motion during an eye movement.

  • > Ex.: move your eye voluntarily vs by pushing it with your finger (close the other eye).
  • > Ex.: look at yourself in the miror, fix an eye, then the other, you don’t notice your eyes moving.
39
Q

what is the Comparator:

A

An area of the visual system that receives one copy of the order issued by the motor system when the eyes move (the other copy goes to the eye muscles).

40
Q

The comparator can do what

A

compensate for the image changes caused by the eye movement.

41
Q

explain the process of Dynamic remapping of receptive fields

A
  1. A saccade is planned but not yet executed.
    1. Some neurons in parietal cortex remap their receptive fields relative to upcoming fixation location.
    2. Saccade is executed.
      4. Receptive fields are already processing information from new location before eye lands there.
42
Q

What are these receptive fields ?

(in dynamic remapping)

A
  1. Eyes are fixated on the fixation point
  2. Recording from a neuron in the intraparietal region.
  3. The neuron fires only if something is presented in the red circle.
  4. Hence, the red circle is the receptive field of that neuron.
43
Q

Receptive fields of neurons in the frontal eye fields also transiently shift where

A

inward towards the new point of fixation.

44
Q

what is Inattentional blindness:

A

A failure to notice—or at least to report—a stimulus that would be easily reportable if it were attended.

45
Q

what are the types of attention

A 
selective
divided
sustained
external
internal
overt
covert
46
Q

what is Attention:

A

Any of the very large set of selective processes in the brain.

47
Q

what is Selective attention:

A

The form of attention involved when processing is restricted to a subset of the possible stimuli.

48
Q

what isDivided attention:

A

Splitting attention between two different stimuli

49
Q

what is Sustained attention:

A

Continuously monitoring some stimulus

50
Q

what s External attention:

A

Attending to stimuli in the world

51
Q

what is Internal attention :

A

Attending to one line of thought over another or selecting one response over another

52
Q

what is Overt attention

A

Directing a sense organ toward a stimulus, like turning your eyes or your head

53
Q

what is Covert attention

A

Attending without giving an outward sign you are doing so

54
Q

what model explains Selective attention

A

broadbent’s filter model

55
Q

what is Attentional Bottleneck:

A

Getting the stimulus from sensory processes to memory processes requires attention.

56
Q

what is Spotlight” model of attention:

A

Attention is restricted in space and moves from one point to the next. Areas within the spotlight receive extra processing.

57
Q

what are the two categories of Spotlight” model of attention:

A

Top-down (endogenous) control: Bottom-up (exogenous) control:

58
Q

what is Top-down (endogenous) control:

A

attention is voluntarily directed towards stimuli relevant to current goals

59
Q

what is Bottom-up (exogenous) control

A

attention is involuntarily captured by things that «stand out».

60
Q

what is Cue:

A

A stimulus that might indicate where (or what) a subsequent stimulus will be

61
Q

what can a cue be

A

Cues can be valid (correct information), invalid (incorrect), or neutral (uninformative)

62
Q

explain Cueing as a tool for examining attention

A 
Simple probe detection experiment
-Posner cueing paradigm
Cues can be valid or invalid
-RTs are shorter on valid cue trials
-RTs are longer on invalid cue trials
63
Q

what is Exogenous/peripheral cue:

A

In directing attention, an exogenous cue is located out (exo) at the desired final location of attention.

64
Q

what is Endogenous/symbolic cue:

A

In directing attention, an endogenous cue is located in (endo) or near the current location of attention
