O efeito modulatório de ações motoras em latências perceptivas visuais. / The modulation of visual perceptual latencies by motor actions.

Haddad Junior, Hamilton 10 November 2008 (has links)
Organismos são capazes de diferenciar estímulos sensoriais gerados independentemente pelo ambiente dos estímulos causados por sua própria ação no mundo. Esse processo depende de mecanismos neurais e cognitivos que unam suas ações às percepções por elas geradas. Objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a interação da ação com a percepção visual no domínio temporal. Em cinco experimentos psicofísicos, foi estudado o efeito modulatório da ação no efeito flash-lag e em tarefas envolvendo estimativas de intervalos temporais. Nossos resultados mostraram que o planejamento e/ou execução de atos motores voluntários são capazes de reduzir em algumas dezenas de milissegundos as latências com que estímulos visuais são percebidos e também de reduzir as estimativas de intervalos temporais. A redução dessas latências é maior quando a conseqüência sensorial da ação é apresentada na fóvea, assim como quando existe um atraso entre a ação e o estímulo por ela causado. / Organisms are able to distinguish between sensory stimuli from the environment and sensory stimuli they cause. This process depends on neural and cognitive mechanisms that link actions to perceptions generated by these actions. This work aimed to investigate the interaction of action and perception in the temporal domain. In five psychophysical experiments, we have assessed the modulation of action in the flash-lag effect and in tasks involving temporal interval estimations. Our results showed that the planning and execution of a voluntary motor action are capable of reducing both visual perceptual latencies and temporal interval estimations. This reduction increases when the sensory consequences of motor actions are presented on the fovea and when a delay is injected between the action and the stimuli caused by it.

Une approche computationnelle de la dépendance au mouvement du codage de la position dans la système visuel / Motion-based position coding in the visual system : a computational study

Aliakbari khoei, Mina 06 October 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse est centralisée sur cette question : comment est-ce que le système visuel peut coder efficacement la position des objets en mouvement, en dépit des diverses sources d'incertitude ? Cette étude déploie une hypothèse sur la connaissance a priori de la cohérence temporelle du mouvement (Burgi et al 2000; Yuille and Grzywacz 1989). Nous avons ici étendu le cadre de modélisation précédemment proposé pour expliquer le problème de l'ouverture (Perrinet and Masson, 2012). C'est un cadre d'estimation de mouvement Bayésien mis en oeuvre par un filtrage particulaire, que l'on appelle la prévision basé sur le mouvement (MBP). Sur cette base, nous avons introduit une théorie du codage de position basée sur le mouvement, et étudié comment les mécanismes neuronaux codant la position instantanée de l'objet en mouvement pourraient être affectés par le signal de mouvement le long d'une trajectoire. Les résultats de cette thèse suggèrent que le codage de la position basé sur le mouvement peut constituer un calcul neuronal générique parmi toutes les étapes du système visuel. Cela peut en partie compenser les effets cumulatifs des délais neuronaux dans le codage de la position. En outre, il peut expliquer des changements de position basés sur le mouvement, comme par example, l'Effect de Saut de Flash. Comme un cas particulier, nous avons introduit le modèle de MBP diagonal et avons reproduit la réponse anticipée de populations de neurones dans l'aire cortical V1. Nos résultats indiquent qu'un codage en position efficace et robuste peut être fortement dépendant de l'intégration le long de la trajectoire. / Coding the position of moving objects is an essential ability of the visual system in fulfilling precise and robust tracking tasks. This thesis is focalized upon this question: How does the visual system efficiently encode the position of moving objects, despite various sources of uncertainty? This study deploys the hypothesis that the visual systems uses prior knowledge on the temporal coherency of motion (Burgi et al 2000; Yuille and Grzywacz 1989). We implemented this prior by extending the modeling framework previously proposed to explain the aperture problem (Perrinet and Masson, 2012), so-called motion-based prediction (MBP). This model is a Bayesian motion estimation framework implemented by particle filtering. Based on that, we have introduced a theory on motion-based position coding, to investigate how neural mechanisms encoding the instantaneous position of moving objects might be affected by motion. Results of this thesis suggest that motion-based position coding might be a generic neural computation among all stages of the visual system. This mechanism might partially compensate the accumulative and restrictive effects of neural delays in position coding. Also it may account for motion-based position shifts as the flash lag effect. As a specific case, results of diagonal MBP model reproduced the anticipatory response of neural populations in the primary visual cortex of macaque monkey. Our results imply that an efficient and robust position coding might be highly dependent on trajectory integration and that it constitutes a key neural signature to study the more general problem of predictive coding in sensory areas.
