Neural Processing and Perception
• Neural processing is the interaction of signals in many neurons.

Lateral Inhibition and Perception
• Experiments with eye of Limulus
– Ommatidia allow recordings from a single
receptor.
– Light shown into a single receptor leads to
rapid firing rate of nerve fiber.
– Adding light into neighboring receptors
leads to reduced firing rate of initial nerve fiber.

Lateral Inhibition and Lightness
Perception
• Three lightness perception phenomena
explained by lateral inhibition
– The Hermann Grid: Seeing spots at an
intersection
– Mach Bands: Seeing borders more sharply
– Simultaneous Contrast: Seeing areas of
different brightness due to adjacent areas

Hermann Grid
• People see an illusion of gray images in intersections of white areas.
• Signals from bipolar cells cause effect
– Receptors responding to white corridors send inhibiting signals to receptor at the intersection
– The lateral inhibition causes a reduced response which leads to the perception of gray.

Mach Bands
• People see an illusion of enhanced lightness and darkness at borders of light and dark areas.
– Actual physical intensities indicate that this is not in the stimulus itself.
– Receptors responding to low intensity (dark) area have smallest output.
– Receptors responding to high intensity (light) area have largest output.

Mach Bands - continued
– All receptors are receiving lateral inhibition
from neighbors
– In low and high intensity areas amount of
inhibition is equal for all receptors
– Receptors on the border receive differential
inhibition

Mach Bands - continued
– On the low intensity side, there is
additional inhibition resulting in an
enhanced dark band.
– On the high intensity side, there is less
inhibition resulting in an enhanced light
band.
– The resulting perception gives a boost for
detecting contours of objects.

Lateral Inhibition and Simultaneous Contrast
• People see an illusion of changed brightness
or color due to effect of adjacent area
– An area that is of the same physical
intensity appears:
• lighter when surrounded by a dark area.
• darker when surrounded by a light area.

Lateral Inhibition and Simultaneous
Contrast - continued
– Receptors stimulated by bright surrounding area send a large amount of inhibition to cells in center.
– Resulting perception is of a darker area than when this stimulus is viewed alone.
– Receptors stimulated by dark surrounding area send a small amount of inhibition to cells in center.
– Resulting perception is of a lighter area than when this stimulus viewed alone.

A Display That Can’t Be Explained by Lateral Inhibition
• White’s Illusion
– People see light and dark rectangles even
though lateral inhibition would result in the
opposite effect.

Explanation of White’s Illusion
• Belongingness
– An area’s appearance is affected by where
we perceive it belongs.
– Effect probably occurs in cortex rather than
retina.
– Exact physiological mechanism is unknown.

Processing From Retina to Visual Cortex and Beyond
• Area of receptors that affects firing rate of a
given neuron in the circuit
• Receptive fields are determined by
monitoring single cell responses.
• Research example for vision
– Stimulus is presented to retina and
response of cell is measured by an
electrode.

Center-Surround Antagonism
• Output of center-surround receptive fields
changes depending on area stimulated:
– Highest response when only the excitatory
area is stimulated
– Lowest response when only the inhibitory
area is stimulated
– Intermediate responses when both areas are stimulated

Hubel and Wiesel’s Rational for
Studying Receptive Fields
• Signals from the retina travel through the
optic nerve to the
– Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)
– Primary visual receiving area in the
occipital lobe (the striate cortex or area V1)
– And then through two pathways to the
temporal lobe and the parietal lobe
– Finally arriving at the frontal lobe

Hubel and Wiesel’s Rational for
Studying Receptive Fields - continued
• LGN cells have center-surround receptive fields.
• Major function of LGN is to regulate neural information from the retina to the visual cortex.
– Signals are received from the retina, the cortex, the brain stem, and the thalamus.
– Signals are organized by eye, receptor type, and type of environmental information.

Hubel and Wiesel’s Rational for
Studying Receptive Fields - continued
• Excitatory and inhibitory effects are found in
receptive fields.
• Center and surround areas of receptive fields
result in:
– Excitatory-center-inhibitory surround
– Inhibitory-center-excitatory surround

Receptive Fields of Neurons in the Visual Cortex
• Neurons that fire to specific features of a
stimulus
• Pathway away from retina shows neurons
that fire to more complex stimuli
• Cells that are feature detectors:
– Simple cortical cell
– Orientation tuning curve
– Complex cortical cell
– End-stopped cortical cell

Selective Adaptation
• Neurons tuned to specific stimuli fatigue
when exposure is long.
• Fatigue or adaptation to stimulus causes
– Neural firing rate to decrease
– Neuron to fire less when stimulus
immediately presented again
• Selective means that only those neurons that respond to the specific stimulus adapt.

– Made of alternating light and dark bars
– Angle relative to vertical can be changed to
test for sensitivity to orientation
– Difference in intensity can be changed to
test for sensitivity to contrast

Selective Adaptation - continued
• Measure contrast threshold by decreasing
intensity of grating until person can just see it.
• Calculate the contrast sensitivity by taking
1/threshold.
• If threshold is low, person has high contrast
sensitivity.

Selective Rearing
• Animals are reared in environments that contain only
certain types of stimuli
– Neurons that respond to these stimuli will become
more predominate due to neural plasticity.
– Blakemore and Cooper (1970) showed this by
rearing kittens in tubes with either horizontal for
vertical lines.
– Both behavioral and neural responses showed the
development of neurons for the environmental
stimuli.

The Sensory Code
• Sensory code - representation of perceived
objects through neural firing
– Specificity coding - specific neurons
responding to specific stimuli
• Leads to the “grandmother cell”hypothesis
• Recent research shows cells in the
hippocampus that respond to concepts
such as Halle Berry.

The Sensory Code continued
– Problems with specificity coding:
• Too many different stimuli to assign
specific neurons
• Most neurons respond to a number of
different stimuli.
• Distributed coding - pattern of firing across
many neurons codes specific objects
– Large number of stimuli can be coded by a
few neurons.

Sensory Code The Sensory Code -
continued
• How many neurons are needed for an object
in distributed coding?
– Sparse coding - only a relatively small
number of neurons are necessary
• This theory can be viewed as a midpoint
between specificity and distributed
coding.

The Mind-body Problem
• How do physiological processes become transformed into perceptual experience?
– Easy problem of consciousness
• Neural correlate of consciousness (NCC) - how physiological responses correlatewith experience
– Hard problem of consciousness
• How do physiological responses causeexperience?
