On the search for the Neural Codes
Outline
1. In feature binding in the retina
2. In ongoing activity
3. In perceptual awareness
4. In hallucinations
Role of oscillations, synchronous activity and temporal patterns
Unresolved issues
Neuenschwander & Singer, Nature, 1996
Feature binding in the retina
Unresolved issues: feature binding in the retina ?
•Gradient of contrast•Shape•Motion•Synchrony of parts•Continuity of parts
Ongoing activity
Roelfsema et al., Nature, 1997
Unresolved issues:
•What triggers gamma oscillations in the cortex ?
•Neural encoding of expectancies (multi-electrode recording)
•Interaction between external stimulus and ongoing activity
Dominant Non-dominant
(Fries et al, PNAS, 1997)
Perceptual awareness
Neural correlates of visual awareness in V4: (Leopold & Logothetis, Nature 1996)
Unresolved issues:
•What triggers perceptual switch: is it neuron fatigue ?
•Does synchronization have a causal role in perception: disruption of oscillations in olfactory system.
Hallucinations
Hallucination in SchizophreniaGamma burst increased in sensory areas (EEG) (Kissler et al., 2000, Clinical Neurophysiology)
