Scaffolds capable of fitting within cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) bone defects while exhibiting osteoconductivity and bioactivity are of interest. This protocol describes the preparation of a shape memory scaffold based on polycaprolactone diacrylate (PCL-DA) using a solvent-casting particulate-leaching (SCPL) method employing a fused salt template and application of a bioactive polydopamine...

Perspectives on Sensation and Perception

Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University
The study of sensation—how signals are transduced from sensory organs, like the eyes—and perception—how the brain interprets these messages—has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when great strides were made in understanding the properties of light and how they relate to the visual system. Importantly, such sensory and perceptual processes determine what we see, feel, taste, and hear in...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

9.8K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Subliminal Perception01:15

Subliminal Perception

764
Subliminal perception refers to the processing of sensory information that occurs below the level of conscious awareness. Researchers study subliminal perception by presenting a stimulus, such as a word or image, very quickly, typically around 50 milliseconds. This rapid presentation is often followed by another stimulus, such as a pattern of dots or lines, which blocks further mental processing of the initial stimulus. As a result, if participants cannot identify the initial stimulus better...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Human vision may use a 2-D surface-based code for shape representation. This visual search study found that shared surfaces between target shapes and distractors slow down recognition, suggesting a 2-D surface code.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Perception

Background:

  • Human visual perception's mechanisms for shape representation remain incompletely understood.
  • Previous research suggests various feature-based codes, but the precise nature of shape representation is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the hypothesis that human vision employs a surface-based code for shape representation.
  • To determine if visual search performance is affected by shared surfaces between target shapes and distractors.

Main Methods:

  • Visual-search experiments were conducted to compare search rates and response times under conjunction and nonconjunction conditions.
  • Stimuli were designed to control for target-distractor similarity and to differentiate between 2-D and 3-D surface information.

Main Results:

  • Slower search rates and longer response times were observed in the conjunction condition (shared surfaces) compared to the nonconjunction condition (unique surfaces).
  • This surface-conjunction effect persisted even when surfaces were shared in the 2-D image but not in their 3-D instantiation, indicating a strictly 2-D code.
  • The effect remained unchanged despite variations in depth information richness.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support a 2-D surface-based code for shape representation in human vision.
  • This 2-D surface code likely coexists with other representation modes, such as structural descriptions integrating 3-D shape information.
