Visual Attention: fMRI Investigation of Object-based Attentional Control

2023
Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel— University of Southern California The human visual system is incredibly sophisticated and capable of processing large amounts of information very quickly. However, the brain's capacity to process information is not an unlimited resource. Attention, the ability to selectively process information that is relevant to current goals and to ignore information that is not, is therefore an essential part of visual perception. Some aspects of...

Monitoring Seizure-Induced Neural Electrical Activity in Brain Slices Using Microelectrode Arrays
0 Views •
2025
This protocol involves using a microelectrode array (MEA) to record electrical activity in a brain slice exposed to a seizure-inducing drug. The procedure includes positioning the brain slice in an MEA recording chamber, applying electrical stimulation to induce artificial seizures, and analyzing the resulting signals.

2016
The integration of conductive nanoparticles, such as graphene nanoplatelets, into glass fiber composite materials creates an intrinsic electrical network susceptible to strain. Here, different methods to obtain strain sensors based on the addition of graphene nanoplatelets into the epoxy matrix or as a coating on glass fabrics are proposed.
FAQs
Spatial layout and geometric structure are central features in the PPA’s processing of scenes. These features describe how environmental elements are organized and how the setting is shaped, rather than focusing only on individual objects. By analyzing this information, researchers can investigate how visual structure helps the brain distinguish one environmental setting from another.
Contextual features provide information that helps characterize an entire setting and distinguish it from other visual categories. In the PPA, these features are considered alongside spatial layout and geometric structure when a person views a scene. Studying their combined contribution helps psychologists examine how the brain supports recognition of familiar environmental settings.
Comparisons with other visual categories help determine whether PPA activity is preferentially associated with places and scenes rather than visual content in general. This approach clarifies the region’s selectivity and allows researchers to relate its responses to the processing of environmental structure. Such comparisons are important for studying how scene perception differs from broader visual recognition.
Functional neuroimaging allows researchers to measure changes in brain activity while people view scenes or other visual categories. The resulting activity patterns can then be examined in relation to scene content, spatial organization, and contextual information. This procedure gives cognitive neuroscience a way to study how visual processing in the PPA relates to environmental perception.
Patterns of PPA activity can provide evidence about how the brain processes information that distinguishes a familiar place from other visual categories. Researchers can examine responses associated with spatial layout, geometric structure, and contextual features to understand scene recognition. These findings help connect visual information about a setting with broader questions about how people perceive their surroundings.
PPA research provides a neural perspective on how information about surrounding environments may be used in navigation and memory. Functional neuroimaging studies can relate activity during scene viewing to these psychological functions, while also examining scene perception itself. This connection helps researchers investigate how visual representations of places support behaviorally relevant understanding of environmental settings.
