Neural representation of complex motion in the primate cortex
(2021-11-04)This dissertation is concerned with how information about the environment is represented by neural activity in the primate brain. More specifically, it contains several studies that explore the representation of visual ... -
Receptive Field Characterization in MSTd Neurons
(2018-12-14)The dorsal region of the medial superior temporal area (MSTd) in primate extrastriate visual cortex is reported to play a major role in the encoding and perception of optic flow stimuli, i.e. large-scale motion patterns ... -
The role of attention and adaptation in shaping cortical representations and the perception of abrupt changes in the visual environment
(2017-11-22)The visual system receives a wealth of visual information about objects with changing features in time. Attention is a mechanism allowing us to prioritize the processing of relevant information at the expense of other ... -
Visual information processing, welfare, and cognition in the rhesus macaque
(2017-10-20)Visual information processing, welfare, and cognition in the rhesus macaque - Chapter one deals with motion and disparity in macaque monkeys' area MST and their functional independence. Chapter two relates with the advantages ... -
Neuronal representation and attentional modulation of space and feature information in primate vision
(2017-10-17)Visual perception lays the groundwork for many activities of animals and human. Decades of neuroscience research in vision also revealed much knowledge about the general computational principles of the brain. My dissertation ... -
The neuropharmacology of attentional modulation in primate visual cortex
(2016-09-30)This thesis aims to shed light on the mechanisms of spatial attention, a selective process allowing prioritizing spatial locations in the visual field, on a psychophysical as well as on a perceptual level. The first and ... -
Feature-based attention in primate visual cortex
(2016-07-06)The scope of this thesis, after a brief summary of the core ideas of top-down attentional control is given (Chapter 2.1), is to shed some light on the cortical control circuit underlying the deployment of feature-based attention. ... -
Attention modulation of complex motion patterns in human visual cortex
(2014-12-12)When we are moving through the environment, our visual system exposes to a barrage of motion information about the objects around us as well as our own heading. Processing such an amount of incoming sensory data is beyond ... -
The influence of attention on motion processing
(2013-10-25)This thesis examined the influences of attention on the processing of complex and simple motion stimuli. The work consists of two physiology studies. In the first study we investigated the question of how complex motion ... -
Spatial, feature and temporal attentional mechanisms in visual motion processing
(2013-06-27)The three projects documented in this thesis investigated the role of three forms of attention in visual processing. Spatial, feature-based and temporal attention. The spatial and feature-based attentional characteristics ... -
Adaptation und Aufmerksamkeit in higher visual perception
(2010-04-29)Seeing, at its simplest, is merely the registering of light and some reaction to it. Primate visual perception is not only a passive, feedforward absorption of information of the surrounding ... -
Perception of visual motion speed in human und monkey
(2007-06-27)Perception of motion is crucial for the survival of most animals, as well as of humans. It has been shown that a number of stimulus factors can influence the visual perception of motion ...
