Grip force as a functional window to somatosensory cognition
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
Analysis of grip force signals tailored to hand and finger movement evolution and changes in grip force control during task execution provide unprecedented functional insight into…
Consciousness beyond neural fields: expanding the possibilities of what has not yet happened
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
In the field theories in physics, any particular region of the presumed space-time continuum and all interactions between elementary objects therein can be objectively measured and…
Surgical task expertise detected by a self-organizing neural network map
Birgitta Dresp-Langley, Rongrong Liu, John M. Wandeto
Individual grip force profiling of bimanual simulator task performance of experts and novices using a robotic control device designed for endoscopic surgery permits defining benchm…
Human Symmetry Uncertainty Detected by a Self-Organizing Neural Network Map
Birgitta Dresp-Langley, John M. Wandeto
Symmetry in biological and physical systems is a product of self organization driven by evolutionary processes, or mechanical systems under constraints. Symmetry based feature extr…
Seven properties of self-organization in the human brain
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
The principle of self-organization has acquired a fundamental significance in the newly emerging field of computational philosophy. Self-organizing systems have been described in v…
Color for the perceptual organization of the pictorial plane: Victor Vasarely's legacy to Gestalt Psychology
Birgitta Dresp-Langley, Adam Reeves
Victor Vasarely (1906-1997)and his important legacy to the study of human perception are brought to the forefront and discussed. A large part of his impressive work conveys the app…
Correlated Effects of Relative Size and Depth in the Perceptual Organization of Multiple Figure-Ground Configurations
Birgitta Dresp-Langley, Adam Reeves
The neural networks of the human visual brain derive representations of three-dimensional structure from specific two-dimensional image cues. Neural models backed by psychophysical…
Bilateral symmetry strengthens the perceptual salience of figure against ground
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
Although symmetry has been discussed in terms of a major law of perceptual organization since the early conceptual efforts of the Gestalt school (Wertheimer, Metzger, Koffka and ot…
Affine Geometry, Visual Sensation, and Preference for Symmetry of Things in a Thing
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
Evolution and geometry generate complexity in similar ways. Evolution drives natural selection while geometry may capture the logic of this selection and express it visually, in te…
Colour for behavioural success
Birgitta Dresp-Langley, Adam Reeves
Colour information not only helps sustain the survival of animal species by guiding sexual selection and foraging behaviour, but also is an important factor in the cultural and tec…
Why the brain knows more than we do: non-conscious representations and their role in the construction of conscious experience
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
Scientific studies have shown that non-conscious stimuli and representations influence information processing during conscious experience. In the light of such evidence, questions…
Neural computation of surface border ownership and relative surface depth from ambiguous contrast inputs
Birgitta Dresp-Langley, Stephen Grossberg
The segregation of image parts into foreground and background is an important aspect of the neural computation of 3D scene perception. To achieve such segregation, the brain needs…
Curvature sensing by vision and touch
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
Brain representations of curvature may be formed on the basis of either vision or touch. Experimental and theoretical work by the author and her colleagues has shown that the proce…
A temporal access code to consciousness?
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
While questions of a functional localization of consciousness in the brain have been the subject of myriad studies, the idea of a temporal access code as a specific brain mechanism…
