Given that the P2 response has been associated with object representation, we propose that the first 40-Hz component is related to representation of low-level sensory input whereas the second is related to internal auditory processing in thalamocortical networks.
AI is currently dominated by work on machine learning from massive data sets and/or low-level sensory inputs.
Here, (f (i ), g (i ) ) are nonlinear functions of hidden states and causes that generate hidden causes for the level below and – at the lowest level – sensory inputs.
Clinical examination revealed severe paraparesis with preserved sensory input and low reflexes: he was unable to lift his limbs against gravitational force.
We can now say that strong FI, leading to strong mutual inhibition between coactive HNCs, corresponds, at the cognitive level, to small amounts of attentional resources available for processing new sensory input (as small amounts of resources, or low attention, imply a tougher competition between costimulated lexical representations, and between ongoing activity in the brain and sensory input).
Sensory input evokes low-order reflexes and higher-order perceptual responses.
The neural representations in left pSTS consist of low-level abstractions of the sensory input information.
Nonetheless, we acknowledge that a limitation of using complex and naturalistic stimuli is that these do not allow controlling for all possible low-level aspects of the sensory input.
For example, an application can configure sensor poll rates, activate a low-pass filter for an analog sensory input or configure unit and type of data instances in the stream.
When alpha power is not explicitly controlled, but fluctuates spontaneously, low prestimulus alpha power has been shown to improve neuronal processing of sensory input and thus improve perception, especially for weak, near-threshold stimuli (e.g. [28 33]).
Thus, the response patterns are similar within and across species, resulting in a low inter- and intraspecies variability with respect to the biological significance of the sensory input.
