Amygdala-Orbitofrontal interplay in cognitive flexibility | The Phineas Gage Fan Club

Amygdala-Orbitofrontal interplay in cognitive flexibility. November 29, 2007. Posted by Johan in Learning. This rat doesn’t get sucrose, but is probably happier than Stalnaker et al’s rats. Today’s title may be the least accessible yet, but bear with me; this is an interesting paper. Stalnaker et al. Rats with OFC damage were slower to learn the reversals than the other groups. However, rats with ABL lesions and rats with combined OFC and ABL lesions did not significantly. So in other words, alth...This ...

Know your neuron: Grid cells | The Phineas Gage Fan Club

Know your neuron: Grid cells. March 3, 2008. Posted by Johan in Animals. Know your neuron is a mini-series here at the Fan Club where we look at some of the curious response characteristics of neurons discovered through electrophysiology. We will work our way through the simple properties of cells that respond to spatial locations or head direction and on to increasingly abstract cells, which encode the identity of individuals or perhaps even the relation between actions of others and those of the self.

You’ll feel better in the morning: Sleep deprivation disconnects the emotional brain | The Phineas Gage Fan Club

You’ll feel better in the morning: Sleep deprivation disconnects the emotional brain. January 27, 2008. Posted by Johan in Emotion. Disturbed sleep patterns feature in a range of psychiatric disorders, many of which fall under the DSM’s mood disorder category. A recent paper by Yoo et al (2007) suggests that sleep deprivation itself can produce abnormal affective processing. In other words, sleep disturbances may be a cause as well as a symptom in conditions such as depression. The role of medial prefron...

Google images now detects faces (poorly) | The Phineas Gage Fan Club
https://phineasgage.wordpress.com/2007/06/17/google-images-now-detects-faces-poorly
Google images now detects faces (poorly). June 17, 2007. Posted by Johan in AI. Google has somewhat secretly rolled out a special filter for its image searches, that enables you to restrict your searches to faces. Geeks in the know say that this technology comes from their purchase of Neven Vision. A company I’ve never heard of before. To use this technology, simply add. To the search URL – adding it in the search box won’t work (although Quicksilver. But it’s not. So how about the competition? Let’...

Domain specificity follows from interactions between overlapping maps | The Phineas Gage Fan Club
https://phineasgage.wordpress.com/2008/03/10/domain-specificity-follows-from-interactions-between-overlapping-maps
Domain specificity follows from interactions between overlapping maps. March 10, 2008. Posted by Johan in Face Perception. I can’t simplify the title beyond that, but don’t run away yet, the idea itself is straight forward once the terminology is explained. Skip ahead two paragraphs if you know what domain specificity means. Recognition of objects in the visual scene is thought to arise in inferior temporal and occipital cortex, along the ventral stream. See also this planned Scholarpedia article. The bu...

Learning to recognise faces: perceptual narrowing? January 11, 2008. Posted by Johan in Animals. That image certainly piques your interest, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, save for a few unfortunate children who are born with cataracts, there is no real way to address this question in humans. Immediately following deprivation, the monkeys showed equal preference for human and monkey faces. By contrast, a group of control monkeys who had not been deprived of face exposure showed a preference for monkey fac...

Reducing the problem of face recognition to an average | The Phineas Gage Fan Club

Reducing the problem of face recognition to an average. February 5, 2008. Posted by Johan in Applied. Although computer software is now adept at face detection. 8211; Google’s image search does it. And so does you camera if you bought it within the past year – the problem of recognising. A face as belonging to a specific individual has proved a hard nut to crack. Recent work by Mark Burton at the Glasgow Face Recognition Group. Suggests a solution by which computer models can achieve human-like performan...
