A fundamental challenge for cognitive neuroscience is characterizing how the primitives of psychological theory are neurally implemented. Attempts to meet this challenge are a manifestation of what Fechner called inner psychophysics: the theory of the ...

Watching the Effects of Gravity. Vestibular Cortex and the Neural Representation of “Visual” Gravity
Gravity is a physical constraint all terrestrial species have adapted to through evolution. Indeed, gravity effects are taken into account in many forms of interaction with the environment, from the seemingly simple task of maintaining balance to the ...

Exploring the generalizability of visual search strategies [PDF]
When searching our visual environment, we often have multiple strategies available. For example, when looking for apples on a supermarket shelf, you can look for red things, round things, or you can just search serially through all items.

Psychophysics of suppression [PDF]
In amblyopia the visual input from the amblyopic eye is suppressed. The difference in contrast sensitivity between the two eyes can lead to suppression of the amblyopic eye through dichoptic masking in anisometropic amblyopia and small angle strabismus. Binocular cells in the visual cortex may also be instrumental in bringing about suppression in small

Norwich’s Entropy Theory: how not to go from abstract to actual [PDF]
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to ask whether a first-order-cybernetics concept, Shannon’s Information Theory, actually allows a far-reaching mathematics of perception allegedly derived from it, Norwich et al.’s “Entropy Theory of Perception”.

Psychophysical Laws and the Superorganism [PDF]
AbstractThrough theoretical analysis, we show how a superorganism may react to stimulus variations according to psychophysical laws observed in humans and other animals. We investigate an empirically-motivated honeybee house-hunting model, which describes a value-sensitive decision process over potential nest-sites, at the level of the colony.

Development of animal psychophysics technique for determining of hydrobios chemical sensitivity
The initial, intermediate and final version of techniques of animal psychophysics are presented. Their critical analysis and gradual modification eventually allowed to develop a version, which is adequate for determining the limits and laws of

The self-regulation peculiarity impact to the phenomenon of compensatory discrimination [PDF]
The psychophysical research (N=106) on loudness distinction of tonal signals (method 2AFC) has been carried out. Applying the principle of subject`s activity and qualitative analysis to traditional psychophysical research was accomplished in the ...
