  2. Review of Neural Network Facts • In biological systems, neurons of similar functionality are usually organized in separate areas (or layers). • Often, there is a hierarchy of interconnected layers with the lowest layer receiving sensory input and neurons in higher layers computing more complex functions. • For example, neurons in macaque visual cortex have been identified that are activated only when there is a face (monkey, human, or drawing) in the macaque’s visual field.

  6. Visual Attention • The attentional cueing task introduced by Michael Posner gives insight into the dynamics of visual attention. • Subjects are instructed to fixate on the central cross. • One of the two boxes flashes to capture the subject’s attention (an automatic, involuntary response). • After some a short delay (stimulus onset asynchrony - SOA) an asterisk appears in one of the boxes. • The subject has to report as quickly as possible in which box the asterisk appeared.

  12. The Posner Attention Task • For short SOAs (< 200 ms), subjects respond faster if flash and asterisk appear on the same side. • Cueing of attention to relevant location allows faster response. • For longer SOAs, subjects respond more slowly if flash and asterisk appear on the same side. • Inhibition-of-Return mechanism makes attention less likely to remain on the side of the flash until the asterisk appears.

  13. The Fröhlich Effect • The Fröhlich effect is a localization error that occurs when observers are asked to indicate the initial position of a fast moving stimulus. • Compared to the actual starting location, the perceived starting location is shifted in the direction of motion. • This perceptual illusion was named after Friedrich Fröhlich, a German physiologist who discovered the phenomenon more than 80 years ago. Introduction to Cognitive Science Lecture 22: Neural Models of Mental Processes

  14. The Fröhlich Effect • Today the most widely accepted explanation of this effect is given by the “Asynchronous Updating Model” (Scharlau & Neumann, 2003). • This model states that the stimulus onset triggers an attention shift towards its location. • During the shift the stimulus changes its location, and because the conscious perception depends on the stimulus being attended, a later position is consciously perceived as being the first position. Introduction to Cognitive Science Lecture 22: Neural Models of Mental Processes

  15. The Fröhlich Effect • We tried to build a quantitative, neural model of the relevant parts of the visual system to explain this effect. • This model includes a vision hierarchy (simple features and small receptive fields in lower layers, complex features and large receptive fields in higher layers). • In this hierarchy, processing of visual input is done in bottom-up direction, and attentional modulation (selective enhancement of processing) works in a top-down fashion.
