Abstract

We tested a parallel neural network model of visual search, and found that it located targets more quickly when allowed to take several fast guesses. We suggest that this serially iterated parallel search may be the mode used by the visual system, in accord with theories such as the Guided Search model. Furthermore, in our model the most efficient mode of processing varied with the type of search. If the nature of visual search varies with task demands, seemingly contradictory findings can be reconciled.

Learning motion discrimination with suppressed and un-suppressed MT.

Perceptual learning of motion direction discrimination is generally thought to rely on the middle temporal area of the brain (MT/V5). A recent study investigating learning of motion discrimination when MT was psychophysically suppressed found that learning was possible with suppressed MT, but only when the task was sufficiently easy [Lu, H., Qian, N., Liu, Z. (2004). Learning motion discrimination with suppressed MT. Vision Research 44, 1817-1825]. We investigated whether this effect was indeed due to MT suppression or whether it could be explained by task difficulty alone. By comparing learning of motion discrimination when MT was suppressed vs. un-suppressed, at different task difficulties, we found that task difficulty alone could not explain the effects. At the highest difficulty, learning was not possible with suppressed MT, confirming [Lu, H., Qian, N., Liu, Z. (2004). Learning motion discrimination with suppressed MT. Vision Research 44, 1817-1825]. In comparison, learning was possible with un-suppressed MT at the same difficulty level. At the intermediate task difficulty, there was a clear learning disadvantage when MT was suppressed. Only for the easiest level of difficulty, did learning become equally possible for both suppressed and un-suppressed conditions. These findings suggest that MT plays an important role in learning to discriminate relatively fine differences in motion direction.

Only two phase mechanisms, +/-cosine, in human vision.

We evaluated the proposal that there exist detectors of the following four cardinal phases in human vision: +cosine, -cosine, +sine, and -sine. First, we assessed whether there was evidence that these cardinal phases were processed by independent 'labeled lines,' using a discrimination at detection threshold paradigm. Second, we assessed whether suprathreshold phase discrimination was best at phases intermediate between these cardinal values. Third, we tried to replicate previous evidence showing that an absence of facilitation occurs only between cosine pedestals and sine tests (or vice-versa). In all three experimental approaches we found no compelling evidence for four cardinal phase groupings. We did however find evidence for independent detectors for pure increments and decrements (+/-cosine). We suggest that phase discrimination, whether at threshold or suprathreshold, is mediated by mechanisms that encode the relative positions and contrasts of local increments and decrements within the stimulus.

Inhibitory control by an integral feedback signal in prefrontal cortex: a model of discrimination between sequential stimuli.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is known to be critical for inhibitory control of behavior, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we propose that inhibitory control can be instantiated by an integral signal derived from working memory, another key function of the PFC. Specifically, we assume that an integrator converts excitatory input into a graded mnemonic activity that provides an inhibitory signal (integral feedback control) to upstream afferent neurons. We demonstrate this scenario in a neuronal-network model for a temporal discrimination task. The task requires the working memory of the vibrational frequency (f1) of an initial stimulus (stimulus 1), followed by comparison of the frequency (f2) of a second stimulus (stimulus 2) with the stored f1 and a binary decision (f2 > f1 or f2 < f1). The integral feedback signal generated by stimulus 1 gates the later inputs based on the amplitude difference (f2 - f1). The feedback control signal enables a subset of neurons to reverse their tuning to f1 between stimulus 1 and stimulus 2, when they become tuned to the difference, f2 - f1. These neurons maintain a lower firing rate during the delay compared with their peak rate during stimulus 1. A second subset of neurons, tuned to f1 during the delay, reaches a rate during stimulus 2 that depends on the maximum of f1 and f2. Our work suggests a circuit mechanism for discrimination across time and predicts neuronal behavior that can be tested experimentally.
