Emergence of sensory attenuation based upon the free-energy principle [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The brain attenuates its responses to self-produced exteroceptions (e.g., we cannot tickle ourselves). Is this phenomenon, known as sensory attenuation, enabled innately, or acquired through learning? Here, our simulation study using a multimodal hierarchical recurrent neural network model, based on variational free-energy minimization, shows that a ...

Direct Electrophysiological Mapping of Shape-Induced Affective Perception
Neural Plasticity, 2018 Visual information may convey different affective valences and induce our brain into different affective perceptions. Many studies have found that unpleasant stimuli could produce stronger emotional effects than pleasant stimuli could. Although there has

Encoding of Intention and Spatial Location in the Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
, 1995 The posterior parietal cortex is functionally situated between sensory cortex and motor cortex. The responses of cells in this area are difficult to classify as strictly sensory or motor, since many have both sensory- and movement-related activities, as ...

Inter-Sense: An Investigation of Sensory Blending in Fiction [PDF]
CEUR-WS.org 2021, 2021 This study reports on the semantic organization of English sensory descriptors of the five basic senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell in a large corpus of over 8,000 fiction books. We introduce a large-scale text data-driven approach based on distributional-semantic word embeddings to identify and extract these descriptors as well as ...
