Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 ....from *Psychological Science* , if you want it. The PDF is 333KB. Maybe has relevance to face recognition, _inter alia_? Visual Feature Binding Requires Reentry Seth Bouvier and Anne Treisman Visual stimulation results initially in a hypothesis about what is presented; this hypothesis is verified by sending a prediction back to the early visual areas (known as reentry) to compare with the actual stimulus. New findings suggest that reentry is critical for feature binding (combining all of the features of an object to form a complete image of it), but may not be required for detecting individual features. When volunteers had to indicate the color and orientation of a colored bar, their accuracy for orientation was better when a single bar was presented than if a white distracter bar was presented along with it (thus requiring binding of color to orientation). - Bill, dx AS -- WD " Bill " Loughman - Berkeley, California USA http://home.earthlink.net/~wdloughman/wdl.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
