Hierarchical Organization of the Human Auditory Cortex Revealed by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
January 1, 2001... C.M. Wessinger [1,2] J. VanMeter [1] B. Tian [1] J. Van Lare [1] J. Pekar [1,3] J.P. Rauschecker [1] Abstract * The concept of hierarchical processing-that the sensory world is broken down into basic features...

The Role of Familiar Size in the Control of Grasping.
January 1, 2001... J.J. Marotta [1] M.A. Goodale [2] Abstract The present study examined whether the learned pictorial depth cue of "familiar size" could be used to plan a reaching and grasping movement in the absence of binocular vision. Sixteen...

Similarity in Perception: A Window to Brain Organization.
January 1, 2001... Abstract This paper presents a neural model of similarity perception in identification tasks. It is based on self-organizing maps and population coding and is examined through five different identification experiments. Simulating an...

Failed Suppression of Direct Visuomotor Activation in Parkinson's Disease.
January 1, 2001... Abstract * The response times in choice-reaction tasks are faster when the relative spatial positions of stimulus and response match than when they do not match, even when the spatial relation is irrelevant to response choice. This spatial...

Visual Representation in the Wild: How Rhesus Monkeys Parse Objects.
January 1, 2001... Yuko Munakata [1] Laurie R. Santos [2] Elizabeth S. Spelke [2] Marc D. Hauser [2] Randall C. O'Reilly [3] Abstract * Visual object representation was studied in free-ranging rhesus monkeys. To facilitate comparison...

The Role of Large-Scale Memory Organization in the Mismatch Negativity Event-Related Brain Potential.
January 1, 2001... Istvan Winkler [1,2] Erich Schroger [3] Nelson Cowan [4] Abstract * The mismatch negativity (MMN) component of event-related brain potentials is elicited by infrequent changes in regular acoustic sequences even if the...

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Visual Object Construction and Shape Discrimination: Relations among Task, Hemispheric Lateralization, and Gender.
January 1, 2001... Apostolos P. Georgopoulos [1,2] Kenneth Whang [1,2] Maria-Alexandra Georgopoulos [1,2] Georgios A. Tagaris [1,2] Bagrat Amirikian [1,2] Wolfgang Richter [2] Seong-Gi Kim [2] Kamil Ugurbil [2] Abstract ...

The Speed of Sight.(visual perception in Macaque monkeys)
January 1, 2001... C. Keysers [1] D.-K. Xiao [2] P. Foldiak [2] D.I. Perrett [2] Abstract Macaque monkeys were presented with continuous rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) sequences of unrelated naturalistic images at rates of 14-222...

A Neural Model of Smooth Pursuit Control and Motion Perception by Cortical Area MST.
January 1, 2001... Christopher Pack [1] Stephen Grossberg [2] Ennio Mingolla [2] Abstract * Smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEMs) are eye rotations that are used to maintain fixation on a moving target. Such rotations complicate the...

Behavioral and Electrophysiological Study of Phonological Priming between Bisyllabic Spoken Words.
January 1, 2001... Nicolas Dumay [1,2] Abdelrhani Benraiss [3] Brian Barriol [3] Cecile Colin [2] Monique Radeau [1,2] Mireille Besson [3] Abstract * Phonological priming between bisyllabic (CV.CVC) spoken items was examined using...

Differential Impact of the FMR-1 Full Mutation on Memory and Attention Functioning: A Neuropsychological Perspective.
January 1, 2001... Abstract Memory and attention processing were examined in a group of 15 adult Fragile-X syndrome (FXS) males with Fragile-X mental retardation 1 (FMR-1) full mutation and compared to two control groups: a learning disabled (LD) control and...
