Abstract:

La perception haptique sert d'interface principale avec le monde physique. Sans elle, notre capacité à comprendre et à répondre à un monde rempli d'objets et de sujets serait profondément altérée. Cette thèse traite de la manière dont nous reconstruisons perceptuellement ce qui est en contact avec notre peau à partir d'entrées mécaniques pertinentes sur le plan comportemental lors des interactions haptiques. Ces informations permettent au système sensoriel d'atteindre ses objectifs, dont l'exploration et la manipulation fine des objets. Après une introduction (Chapitre 1) couvrant les concepts

Abstract:

Practice improves performance on many basic auditory tasks. However, while the phenomenon of auditory perceptual learning is well established, little is known about the mechanisms underlying such improvements. What is learned during auditory perceptual learning? This thesis attempts to answer this question by applying models of performance to behavioural response data, and examining which parameters change with practice. On a simple pure tone discrimination task, learning is shown to primarily represent a reduction in internal noise, with encoding efficiency, attentiveness and bias appearing i

Abstract:

Intermittent presentation of an ambiguous visual stimulus leads to a memory effect in which the percept on one presentation is usually the same as on the previous presentation. This effect is a form of perceptual memory. The aim of this research was to compare and examine the different explanations of biases in this form of perceptual memory. The mechanism of the stabilisation of ambiguous perception during intermittent presentation of ambiguous stimuli was also investigated. The Participants were adult humans who voluntarily participated in the experiments. An ambiguous percept was created us

Abstract:

In order to capture and reproduce sound all around the listener in a perceptually realistic way, a recording technique (microphone layout) and a reproduction system (loudspeaker layout) capable of accurate 360° imaging are required. In order to develop the reproduction system, binaural and loudspeaker-based localisation cues were investigated in a literature review. The necessary loudspeaker-based localisation cues to manipulate the location of a sound image were analysed, and these showed that the common 5.1 surround sound loudspeaker arrangement could produce stable images to the front o

The visual system integrates information over space to see surfaces, contours and edges. This integration can be described by a divisive normalization framework in which surrounding contextual information normalizes response to a central target.

We measured surround integration using the Simultaneous Tilt Illusion. In the first study, we determined the extent to which the probability that different surro

The principle aims of this thesis were to investigate the influence of intrinsic navigational cues in virtual environments and video games. Modern video games offer complex environments that may reflect real world spaces or represent landscapes from fantasy and fiction. The coherent design of these spaces can promote natural navigational flow without the requirement for extraneous guidance such as maps and arrows. The methods that designers use to create natural flow are complex and stratified utilising principles rooted in urban architectural design and navigational cues that are intrinsic to

Since the discovery of the place cells in 1971 by John O’Keefe and colleagues an extensive work over the hippocampus has been developed as the mammal model of spatial navigation. Place cells are rodents’ hippocampal neurons whose firing is associated to certain locations of the environment. A majority of studies have focused on how the place fields (the area where the firing of a neuron is restricted) are generated in relation to the static cues of the environment (O'Keefe and Conway, 1978; Muller et al., 1987; Gothard et al., 1996).

It is clear that in order to perceive the external environment in its entirety, inputs from multiple sensory systems (i.e. modalities) must be combined with regard to each object in the environment. Humans are highly vision-dependent creatures, with a large portion of the human cortex dedicated to visual perception and many multimodal areas proposed to integrate vision with other modalities. Recent studies of multimodal integration have shown crossmodal facilitation (increased performance at short stimulus onset asynchronies, SOA s) and/or inhibition of return ( IOR ; decreased performance at

Discrimination between similar stimuli is enhanced more by intermixed pre-exposure than by blocked pre-exposure to those stimuli. The salience modulation account of this intermixed-blocked effect proposes that the unique elements of intermixed stimuli are more salient than those of blocked stimuli. The inhibition account proposes that inhibitory links between the unique elements of intermixed stimuli enhance discrimination. The current thesis evaluated the two accounts in their ability to explain this effect in humans. In Experiments 1 and 2, categorisation and same-different judgements were m

Abstract:

Compass orientation or menotaxis is defined as the ability to orient at a specific angle relative to a directional cue. Cues used for compass orientation include the sun, stars, moon, geomagnetic field and polarized light. While there is evidence in a variety of organisms for compass orientation, the ability of mammals to use cues for compass orientation has been relatively unexplored. The goal of this research was to explore whether laboratory mice could use either magnetic or auditory cues for compass orientation. The results indicate that mice are able to learn to position their nest us

Findings from the turtle experiments also suggest that the Earth's magnetic field plays an important role in encoding spatial information in novel surroundings, and may help to organize multip

In recent years, the number of unilateral cochlear implant (CI) users with functional residual-hearing has increased and bimodal hearing has become more prevalent.

Additionally, these two components are thought to interact with each other to different degrees depending on the nature of the speech materials and the quality of the bottom-up cues.

To date, the most common criteria for synesthesia are that synesthetic experiences be automatic, consistent, rely on an external stimulus that triggers the phenomenological experience, and that this experience is fully conscious to the mind.

This ‘analysis by synthesis’ could be instantiated in the top-down connections in the hierarchy of cortical regions, and allow the cortex to evaluate its internal model and thus le

Egg predation may be the most important mortality factor for North American turtles. This predation can destroy 50-90% of nests in an area.

Despite differences in their habits and diet, these species appear equally efficient in turtle egg predation, even though these eggs represent a very small portion of their annual food intake. Sight, olfaction, touch and hearing could be used by these predators to find the nests. The aim of this study was to document intra and inter-specific differences in the percepti

Identifying targets in cluttered scenes is critical for our interactions in complex environments. Our visual system is challenged to both detect elusive targets that we may want to avoid or chase and discriminate between targets that are highly similar. These tasks require our visual system to become an expert at detecting distinctive features that help us differentiate between indistinguishable targets. As the human brain is trained on this type of visual tasks, we observe changes in its function that correspond to improved performance. We use functional brain imaging, to measure learning-dep
