Constructive Perception Of Self-Motion, Jan E. Holly, Gin Mccollum Jan 2008

Constructive Perception Of Self-Motion, Jan E. Holly, Gin Mccollum

Gin McCollum

This review focusses attention on a ragged edge of our knowledge of self-motion perception, where understanding ends but there are experimental results to indicate that present approaches to analysis are inadequate. Although self-motion perception displays processes of “top-down” construction, it is typically analyzed as if it is nothing more than a deformation of the stimulus, using a “bottom-up” and input/output approach beginning with the transduction of the stimulus. Analysis often focusses on the extent to which passive transduction of the movement stimulus is accurate. Some perceptual processes that deform or transform the stimulus arise from the way known properties of …

The Role Of The Amygdala In Implicit Evaluation Of Emotionally Neutral Faces., Alex Todorov, Andrew D. Engell Dec 2007

The Role Of The Amygdala In Implicit Evaluation Of Emotionally Neutral Faces., Alex Todorov, Andrew D. Engell

Andrew D. Engell

The amygdala is involved in the evaluation of novel stimuli, including faces. We examined whether the amygdala is engaged during the evaluation of emotionally neutral faces along trait-specific dimensions such as trustworthiness and attractiveness or along a general valence dimension. Using behavioral data from evaluation of faces on 14 trait dimensions and fMRI data from an implicit evaluation paradigm, we show that the extent to which the amygdala responds to variations of faces on specific dimensions is a function of the valence content of these dimensions. Variations on dimensions with clear valence connotations (e.g. trustworthiness) engaged the amygdala more strongly …
