Download or read book Cellular Neurophysiology and Integration written by W. R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1975. Because of its general importance to a number of related disciplines, students of the modern science of neurophysiology have benefited from time to time from an introductory survey presented at a more elementary level than is usually found in advanced textbooks. The dynamism of the field is such, however, that more up-to-date statements incorporating many of the exciting new findings concerning cellular neurophysiology are required periodically. This text is aimed at filling that need. It is an outgrowth of a part of a course on the neurophysiology of sensory processes taught by the author at The University of Michigan during the last ten years. This book is an attempt to present the subject matter at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduate students and first year graduate students whose knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics is limited to introductory courses.

Download or read book Foundations of Cellular Neurophysiology written by Daniel Johnston and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994-11-02 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: with simulations and illustrations by Richard Gray Problem solving is an indispensable part of learning a quantitative science such as neurophysiology. This text for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in neuroscience, physiology, biophysics, and computational neuroscience provides comprehensive, mathematically sophisticated descriptions of modern principles of cellular neurophysiology. It is the only neurophysiology text that gives detailed derivations of equations, worked examples, and homework problem sets (with complete answers).

Download or read book The Swimmer written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research monograph describes a large programming project in which an underwater organism, capable of perceiving, learning, deciding, and navigating, is computationally simulated. The developed computational model serves as a contemporary theory of perceptual-motor performance, embodying much of what is known about human vision and some of what is known about other cognitive processes. This artificial intelligence project has substantial contributions to make to the development of autonomous underwater vehicles. It also makes a specific theoretical statement about the organization and nature of organic perceptual motor systems that may be useful to psychologists, neuroscientists, and theoreticians in a number of other fields.

Download or read book Integrating Face and Voice in Person Perception written by Pascal Belin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows a successful symposium organized in June 2009 at the Human Brain Mapping conference. The topic is at the crossroads of two domains of increasing importance and appeal in the neuroimaging/neuroscience community: multi-modal integration, and social neuroscience. Most of our social interactions involve combining information from both the face and voice of other persons: speech information, but also crucial nonverbal information on the person’s identity and affective state. The cerebral bases of the multimodal integration of speech have been intensively investigated; by contrast only few studies have focused on nonverbal aspects of face-voice integration. This work highlights recent advances in investigations of the behavioral and cerebral bases of face-voice multimodal integration in the context of person perception, focusing on the integration of affective and identity information. Several research domains are brought together. Behavioral and neuroimaging work in normal adult humans included are presented alongside evidence from other domains to provide complementary perspectives: studies in human children for a developmental perspective, studies in non-human primates for an evolutionary perspective, and studies in human clinical populations for a clinical perspective.

Download or read book The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2022-07-30 with total page 2995 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These four volumes, originally published between 1973 and 1988, were intended to provide a broad survey of cognitive neuroscience, a field known variously as physiological psychology or psychobiology in the 1970s and 1980s when the books were written. The general goal was to summarize what was known about the relation between brain and mind at that time, with an emphasis on sensory and perceptual topics. Out of print for many years, the Tetralogy is now available again, as a set for the first time (which is as the author envisaged it), or as individual volumes.
Download or read book Encoding Visual Features by Parallel Ganglion Cell Initiated Pathways in the Healthy Diseased and Artificial Retina written by Béla Völgyi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photons are sensed by retinal photoreceptors whose matrix-like distribution underlies the transformation of illumination patterns of the visual scene into photoreceptor activity patterns in a visuotopic fashion. Activity of neighboring photoreceptors then are compared by secondary bipolar cells to decipher information regarding luminosity- and color-contrast. Bipolar cells achieve this by comparing signals received directly from their center receptive field with those come from spatially offset surrounding receptive field areas mediated by inhibitory, sign-inverting horizontal cells. This information is ultimately sent to retinal ganglion cells, the output neurons of the retina. In addition to the excitatory bipolar cell inputs, spatial and temporal features of ganglion cell activation are robustly modified by inner retinal amacrine cells through inhibitory chemical and/or excitatory electrical synaptic inputs. Ganglion cells sample various bipolar cell subtypes in their dendritic field and utilize collected inputs to generate a spike output code on luminosity-contrast, color-contrast, object motion, background motion, motion direction, changes in background illumination in a subtype specific manner. Ganglion cells in each subtype cover the retinal surface economically, thus collective information across the population provide a feature pattern and through time a feature movie to the brain. Some of these movies are utilized for image perception, whereas others are sent to accessory visual brain centers to control eye-movement, pupil contraction or circadian entrainment. A large body of information has been revealed in the past decade regarding this field, however much of the details still remain unknown or even enigmatic, including: (i) the precise description of neural circuits that serve each ganglion cell subtype to generate a specific feature movie; (ii) the estimation of the number of various ganglion cell subtypes that partake in image forming and non-image forming signaling towards the brain; (iii) the description of changes in the inputs, morphology and signaling of retinal ganglion cells when the tissue is under stress or undergoes disease related degenerative processes; (iv) the comparison of ganglion cell classes with those of the human retina and finally, (v) the practical use of all the above information to establish retina inspired visual algorithms to suit computer, drone and/or robotic vision. Therefore, research articles in this issue were collected to touch upon each of these topics and highlight recent advances of the related field.

The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Civil Engineering, Environment Resources and Energy Materials and related areas. A key aspect of this conference is the strong mixture of academia and industry. This allows for the free exchange of ideas and challenges faced by these two key stakeholders and encourage future collaboration between members of these groups.
