Biased competition

Question 1

Receptive fields

Answer 1

Grow larger the higher you get to a hierarchy. This test is done by showing two stimuli in the receptive field; one stimuli fires the neuron the other doesnt.

Question 2

Competition amoung objects

Answer 2

Due to the two objects in the receptive field there is a competition. The firing of the neuron is averaged. The results show that attention is the solution of the competition

Question 3

Effective stimulus

Answer 3

If only attended here, there is a high firing rate of the neuron, same as if the other wouldn’t be there

Question 4

Ineffective stimulus

Answer 4

IF only attended here, there is no firing rate, as if the effective stimuli isn’t there.
