Abstract

A contact lens designed for use in lateralizing visual input is described. The design includes a carrier soft contact lens into which a smaller hard contact lens is inserted. The hard lens is partially painted black to obstruct a portion of the visual field, as required for experimental purposes.

Topographic receptive fields and patterned lateral interaction in a self-organizing model of the primary visual cortex.

This article presents a self-organizing neural network model for the simultaneous and cooperative development of topographic receptive fields and lateral interactions in cortical maps. Both afferent and lateral connections adapt by the same Hebbian mechanism in a purely local and unsupervised learning process. Afferent input weights of each neuron self-organize into hill-shaped profiles, receptive fields organize topographically across the network, and unique lateral interaction profiles develop for each neuron. The model demonstrates how patterned lateral connections developed based on correlated activity and explains why lateral connection patterns closely follow receptive field properties such as ocular dominance.

Sequential activity in human motor areas during a delayed cued finger movement task studied by time-resolved fMRI.

Activity in the human primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex and the supplementary motor area during a delayed cued finger movement task was measured by time-resolved functional magnetic resonance imaging. Activity during movement preparation can be resolved from activity during movement execution in a single trial. All three areas were active during both movement preparation and movement execution. Activity in the primary motor cortex was considerably weaker during movement preparation than during movement execution; in the premotor cortex and the supplementary motor area, activity was of similar intensity during both periods. These observations are consistent with results from single neuronal recording studies in primates.
