The orchestra now even sponsors a First Art competition for young visual artists.
In the visual system, congenital cataracts or other optical problems that limit visual input disadvantage corresponding sensory fibres in their competition for space in the visual cortex, resulting in permanent visual deficits such as amblyopia (Awaya, 1987).
Enter Artadia, which aims to introduce healthy competition by hosting biannual contests for visual artists painters, sculptors, photographers and videographers in San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Boston and, later this summer, Atlanta.
In a previous study, we utilized the N2pc component of the ERP to investigate competition among visual stimuli for representation [13].
Therefore, we conclude that in the visual cortex competition for postsynaptic partners is not limited to development but continues into adulthood.
We test this prediction by jointly using information of brood reduction, clutch size and duration of nestling period as proxies for intensity of sibling competition, and visual models that assess detectability of nestlings by adult birds.
The live sound was both wonderful and oddly distracting when it differed (as it frequently did) from the usual recorded score, and the musicians' presence provided visual and virtuosic competition for the dancers.
However, attention switch costs were larger for the auditory modality than for visual modality, indicating a dissociation of the mechanisms underlying crossmodal competition in stimulus processing and modality-specific biasing of attentional set.
Load on visual representation resources required for visual maintenance or encoding of color and location (rce interference by an irrelevant distractor in the response competition task presented either during encoding of the set or during the maintenance delay.
