The study of sensation and perception is diverse. Partly this is the result of the length of time
that perceptual problems have been studied. The Greek philosophers, the pre-Renaissance …

Objective: To review the stochastic resonance phenomena observed in sensory systems and
to describe how a random process (`noise') added to a subthreshold stimulus can enhance …

An introduction to the application of dynamical systems science to the cognitive sciences.
Dynamical Cognitive Science makes available to the cognitive science community the …

I propose that primary conscious awareness arises from synchronized activity in dendrites
of neurons in dorsal thalamic nuclei, mediated particularly by inhibitory interactions with …

The central problem for cognitive neuroscience is to describe how cognitive processes arise
from brain processes. This review summarizes the recent evidence that synchronous neural …

Although typically assumed to degrade performance, random fluctuations, or noise, can
sometimes improve information processing in non-linear systems. One such form of 'stochastic …

A recent analysis of the energy detector model in sensory psychophysics concluded that
stochastic resonance does not occur in a measure of signal detectability (d′), but can occur in …

A set of 105 commonly used adjectives descriptive of the affective quality of molar physical
environments was developed and factor analyzed (based on 323 subjects' ratings, each of a …

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and Lawrence
