Lyon Cedex 07, France Jean Pierre Royet Laboratoire de Physiologie Neurosensorielle URA 180 du CNRS Universit e Claude Bernard Lyon 1 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France November 6, 1995 1 Introduction It can be assumed that odor memorization takes place in both perceptive and associative memories [3]. This experiments are part of a project devoted to the study of perception and cognitive processes involved in olfactory memory. The current report summarizes experimental protocol and analyzes collected data. This study enables easier future works by doing spade work on data. 2 Experimental ....

....handicapped people, using HTML documents of varying complexities. 3.1 Macro analysis and micro analysis of a document Two successive exploration phases are performed by users in order to analyze a WWW document. These phases correspond to the where and what stages in visual perception [9], and are supported by the browser. First, similarly to the where stage of vision perception, a macro analysis phase allows the understanding of the document structure and of the element types (e.g. text, images, forms) displayed in the browser viewport. Secondly, as with the what stage, a ....

....retrieval scheme presented here is not meant to be a model of retrieval in biological systems. However, some of its components are similar to those used in the human visual system. The use of appearance based representations is in conformity with with both neurophysiological [4] and psychophysical [13] evidence that memory is accessed using imagery rather than symbolic information. In addition, it is known that filtering is performed using Gaussian derivatives (or similar filters) at multiple scales in the striate cortex [23] Finally, it has been shown by Shepard and Cooper [21] that people ....

....of the early vision modules in the human brain. This particular diagram is abstracted from a model designed by Kosslyn and Koenig. It comes from studies of the major neural connections and pathways in the human brain, and case studies of what goes wrong when certain of these connections break. See [KK92] for the full development of the model. The visual pathway begins at the retina and continues in a reasonably direct way to an area called V1 at the back of the brain. This is a visual buffer, where the retinotopically mapped data is processed and stored temporarily. From here the data takes ....

....the match image between them. As long as the object being tracked is not too close to the eyes, the difference in shape caused by parallax would not be great enough to confuse the systems. The attention window itself should be scalable and shapeable, as the human attention window appears to be [KK92]. A larger attention window subsamples the visual buffer so that the number of pixels involved remains constant and the running time does not change. Such a window can resize to adapt to the scale of the object being tracked. It would also serve as a clean input to an object recognition system, ....

....on an accumulation of multiple action results. 4.2. Adaptive Inhibition Our method for coordination learning is the adaptation of behavioral inhibition in response to feedback from individual behavior performance. It is inspired by the neurobiological phenomena of long term potentiation or LTP [5] and its corollary, short term potentiation or STP [7] We do not attempt to faithfully model these biological mechanisms but rather capture the style of computation which they represent as a basis for learning. Short term Potentiation (STP) Temporary adjustments are made to the inhibition ....

....We hypothesize that attractors in higher order and associational areas (parietal,inferotemporal,cingulate,frontal,premotor,hippocampal, and entorhinal) feed back to lower levels to bias and categorically stabilize perception or direct motor output. We subscribe to the modular view of Kosslyn[41], where the higher order areas contain modality specific representations that output back to primary areas to check their states against input and filter primary inputs with their expectations or generate activity corresponding to mental images in the absence of input activity. The association ....

....end of the scale, there have been some attempts to modularize the functions of the brain, partly through discovering connections, and partially through the study of what happens when certain of these connections break. Figure 2 1 shows a model abstracted from one designed by Kosslyn and Koenig [KK92] that was developed with this method. The figure shows the brain and eye of a head facing to the right. The functional units have been placed roughly in their corresponding regions of the brain. In the beginning, there is light. The retina intercepts the light and converts the intensities and ....

....the visual buffer that is currently being sent to the object recognition system. The attention window can be irregularly shaped, it can scale to different sizes, and it can move about the entire field of view. In other words, you do not have to look directly at an object to which you are attending. [KK92] Because of the loss of visual acuity at the periphery of the eye, however, an object seen out of the corner of your eye will not be in focus, and you must look directly at it to get al..l the details. 2.1.3 Object recognition ( What ) The object recognition system attempts to identify the contents ....

....obtain the general layout of the displayed document. For the active macro analysis, the blind user explores the document by moving his her finger on a touch sensitive screen. During this exploration, the system responds with an audio feedback that provides a bidimensional where and what [5] information. The sound itself, which corresponds to the type of the HTML element that is touched (the what information) is represented by an auditory icon [3] We chose auditory icons as non speech sounds since they facilitate an intuitive recognition of the related HTML element. For example, ....
