Your Test
• Email [email protected] to go over your test in person
• See me if you have to complain about something
![Page 2: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Extra-RF Influences
• consider texture-defined boundaries– classical RF tuning
properties do not allow neuron to know if RF contains figure or background
– At progressively later latencies, the neuron responds differently depending on whether it is encoding boundaries, surfaces, the background, etc.

Extra-RF Influences
• How do these data contradict the notion of a “classical” receptive field?

Extra-RF Influences
• How do these data contradict the notion of a “classical” receptive field?
• Remember that for a classical receptive field (i.e. feature detector):
– If the neuron’s preferred stimulus is present in the receptive field, the neuron should fire a stereotypical burst of APs
– If the neuron is firing a burst of APs, its preferred stimulus must be present in the receptive field

Recurrent Signals in Object Perception
• Can a neuron represent whether or not its receptive field is on part of an attended object?
• What if attention is initially directed to a different part of the object?
![Page 7: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Recurrent Signals in Object Perception
• Can a neuron represent whether or not its receptive field is on part of an attended object?
• What if attention is initially directed to a different part of the object?
Yes, but not during the feed-forward sweep
![Page 8: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Recurrent Signals in Object Perception
• curve tracing– monkey indicates whether a
particular segment is on a particular curve
– requires attention to scan the curve and “select” all segments that belong together
– that is: make a representation of the entire curve
– takes time
![Page 9: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Recurrent Signals in Object Perception
• curve tracing– neuron begins to respond
differently at about 200 ms
– enhanced firing rate if neuron is on the attended curve

Feedback Signals and the binding problem
• What is the binding problem?
![Page 11: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Feedback Signals and the binding problem
• What is the binding problem?• curve tracing and the binding problem:
– if all neurons with RFs over the attended curve spike faster/at a specific frequency/in synchrony, this might be the binding signal
![Page 12: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Feedback Signals and the binding problem
• What is the binding problem?• curve tracing and the binding problem:
– if all neurons with RFs over the attended curve spike faster/at a specific frequency/in synchrony, this might be the binding signal
But attention is supposed to solve the binding problem, right?

Feedback Signals and the binding problem
• So what’s the connection between Attention and Recurrent Signals?
![Page 14: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Feedback Signals and Attention
• One theory is that attention (attentive processing) entails the establishing of recurrent “loops”
• This explains why attentive processing takes time - feed-forward sweep is insufficient
![Page 15: Your Test Email crystal.ehresman@uleth.ca to go over your test in personcrystal.ehresman@uleth.ca See me if you have to complain about something](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2e5503460f94a05ec2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Feedback Signals and Attention
• Instruction cues (for exaple in the Posner Cue-Target paradigm) may cause feedback signal prior to stimulus onset (thus prior to feed-forward sweep)
• think of this as pre-setting the system for the upcoming stimulus

Feedback Signals and Attention
• We’ll consider the role of feedback signals in attention in more detail as we discuss the neuroscience of attention
