Acquisition of Behavioral Avoidance
Acquisition of Behavioral Avoidance

... healthy individuals, avoidance, therefore, is functional if it prevents actual threat. In anxiety disorders, however, avoidance is more recurrent and persistent and not related to realistic threat to the patient (Barlow, 2002), and obtains a pathological quality as it causes severe impairments and c ...

... optimal adaptation rule is to normalize the inputs from each presynaptic neuron. Inputs from presynaptic neurons with high excitability will tend to have low gain, while inputs from neurons with low excitability will tend to have high gain. Under this rule, short term increases in firing rate are ty ...

... et al., 1982; Overton & Dean, 1988; Lomber et al., 2001). Unfortunately, the interpretation of these studies is limited because of one or more of the following considerations: (1) Most of these experiments used permanent ablation of the SC rather than reversible inactivation. SC ablation initially p ...

This result is remarkable because V1 neurons are usually thought to code low-level visual features rather than the value of stimuli. However, a recent study by Serences (2008) obser ...

Thus, in response to S2, a decreased activation should be found for inverted compared to upright adaptors, for each adaptor category tested: houses, mouths, eyes, faces, eye ...

For comparing stimulus-related responses, we determined the mean activity in the interval 65 msec around the peak of neuronal activation in a time window from 70 to 140 msec after stimulus appearance, and the prestimulus activation in the interval 40 –50 msec after stimulus ...

... difference in reaction times (RTs) between GVS, light, touch and sound stimuli. They found that RTs to GVS were significantly slower by 197 to 241 ms compared to the other stimuli. These results were surprising because of the fast transduction latencies of the vestibular afferents. In addition, peop ...

I am modeling the superior colliculus, a structure in the vertebrate midbrain which receives and integrates multi-sensory information to localize objects and events in the world and generate orienting actions. To model the superior colliculus, I use artificial neural networks. The goal is to provide ...

Similarly, language-specific ERP components would support the modular nature of the language processor. Naturally, identifying such an effect would require a relatively direct relationship between the ...

This device, in itself, does not provide a practical solution to the problem of communicating negative values with a firing rate, since the baseline is extremely weak, and the ...

... This enhanced sensitivity depends on summing inputs from many LGN neurons. While the contrast sensitivity of the subcortical M channel is greater than that of the P channel (Shapley and Kaplan, 1986), appropriate summation of signals from either channel could easily account for the sensitivity found ...

... where c is an arbitrary constant. Thus, the dynamics of adaptation differ depending on whether one refers t o the response to a step stimulus or to the dynamics of the adaptation variable. The two methods produce equivalent results when k1h'(t)=k2 −k2h(t), where k1 and k2 are constants, which gives ...

... Before conditioning takes place, the sound of the metronome does not cause salivation and is a neutral stimulus, or NS. During conditioning, the sound of the metronome occurs just before the presentation of the food, the UCS. The food causes salivation, the UCR. When conditioning has occurred after ...

This between-hemifield condition served to control for post-perceptual effects concerning arousal, emotional biasing, and/or semantic interactions, which should be similar for the within-hemifield and between-hemifield conditions.

Psychophysics

Psychophysics quantitatively investigates the relationship between physical stimuli and the sensations and perceptions they affect. Psychophysics has been described as ""the scientific study of the relation between stimulus and sensation"" or, more completely, as ""the analysis of perceptual processes by studying the effect on a subject's experience or behaviour of systematically varying the properties of a stimulus along one or more physical dimensions"".Psychophysics also refers to a general class of methods that can be applied to study a perceptual system. Modern applications rely heavily on threshold measurement, ideal observer analysis, and signal detection theory.Psychophysics has widespread and important practical applications. For example, in the study of digital signal processing, psychophysics has informed the development of models and methods of lossy compression. These models explain why humans perceive very little loss of signal quality when audio and video signals are formatted using lossy compression.
