Abstract Uncovering the neural dynamics of facial identity processing along with its representational basis outlines a major endeavor in study visual processing. To this end, here, we record human electroencephalography (EEG) data associated viewing face stimuli; then, exploit spatiotemporal EEG information to determine correlates representations and reconstruct appearance corresponding stimuli. Our findings indicate that multiple temporal intervals support: classification, space estimation,...
Neural markers of visual function in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) allow clinicians and researchers to directly evaluate the functional changes processing which occur as a result progressive loss afferent input from macula. Unfortunately, few protocols exist that elicit such neural markers, most these are poorly adapted AMD. Here, we propose novel method embedding frequency tags into full colour motion videos by periodically manipulating contrast information different spatial...
The current study employed a rapid adaptation procedure to test the neuronal mechanisms of face inversion effect (FIE) on early face‐sensitive event‐related potential (ERP) component N170. Five categories face‐related stimuli (isolated eyes, isolated mouths, eyeless faces, mouthless and full faces) houses were presented in upright inverted orientations as adaptors for stimuli. Strong was found all except mouths. larger than stimuli, but only when eyes present. These results underline an...
In daily life, efficient perceptual categorization of faces occurs in dynamic and highly complex visual environments. Yet the role selective attention guiding face has predominantly been studied under sparse static viewing conditions, with little focus on disentangling impact attentional enhancement suppression. Here we show that suppression exert a differential supported by left right hemispheres. We recorded 128-channel EEG while participants viewed 6-Hz stream object images (buildings,...
Visual memory for faces has been extensively researched, especially regarding the main factors that influence face memorability. However, what we remember exactly about a face, namely, pictorial content of visual memory, remains largely unclear. The current work aims to elucidate this issue by reconstructing images from both perceptual and memory-based behavioural data. Specifically, our builds upon further validates hypothesis perception share common representational basis underlying facial...
The frontoparietal networks underlying grasping movements have been extensively studied, especially using fMRI. Accordingly, whereas much is known about their cortical locus less the temporal dynamics of visuomotor transformations. Here, we show that multivariate EEG analysis allows for detailed insights into time course visual and computations precision grasps. Male female human participants first previewed one several objects and, upon its reappearance, reached to grasp it with thumb index...
Abstract Recent investigations have focused on the spatiotemporal dynamics of visual recognition by appealing to pattern analysis EEG signals. While this work has established ability decode identity‐level information (such as identity a face or word) from neural signals, much less is known about precise nature signals that support such feats, their robustness across categories, consistency human participants. Here, we address these questions through use EEG‐based decoding and multivariate...
The main objective of the present study was to explore yielding behavior Israeli drivers. A series observations were carried out at a busy crosswalk during rush hour determine association between demographic factors, i.e., sex and age both pedestrians drivers rate compliance with regulations. observed did not exceed 53%. Drivers within 26–50 range, excluding other groups, tended exhibit higher towards members their own group.
Elucidating the dynamics of visual processing delineates a major area inquiry in study face recognition. Yet, fine-grained pictorial content representations and its temporal profile still remain to be clarified. To this end, here we use image reconstruction as applied electroencephalography (EEG) data. Specifically, record EEG data associated with viewing stimuli healthy participants; then, exploit spatiotemporal information available patterns reconstruct appearance corresponding stimuli....
Extensive work has demonstrated an age-related decline in face recognition, but the nature and extent of aging-related alterations representations remain unclear. Here, we address these issues using image reconstruction approach to reveal content visual representations. Healthy young older adults provided similarity judgments for pairs images. Facial shape surface features were subsequently derived combined into reconstructions facial appearance. Both objective experimental evaluations...
The aim of this paper was to see whether there is an association between drivers' self-concept, gender, and proclivity for dangerous driving. Participants' self-concept measured using the brief Hebrew version Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS; Fitts, 1965). Tendency commit traffic violations engage in driving assessed Dangerous Driving Questionnaire (DDQ; Berger, 1995). regression analysis showed that out all TSCS scales only moral correlated significantly with general In addition, ANOVA...
Abstract Extensive work has demonstrated a decline in face recognition abilities associated with healthy aging. To date, however, there been limited insight into the nature and extent of aging-related alterations internal representations. Here, we sought to address these issues by using an image reconstruction approach that capitalizes on structure behavioral data reveal pictorial content visual this end, young older adults provided similarity judgments pairs images.
