| Simulation Project Title |
A simplistic model of perceived speed. |
| Type of model |
Systems model |
| Description |
A simplistic model of perceived speed (labeled lines model, vector average model) will
receive stimulus speed and stimulus contrast as input, simulate the activity of a neuronal
population and compute a perceived speed of the stimulus as the outcome. |
| Why complementary |
I have collected electrophysiological data from the speed tuned neurons in monkeys, and
these data match the psychophysical results I have collected with humans, given that perceived
speed is coded in labeled lines or as the vector average of neuronal populations. It would be
interesting to test such a model that is based on the neuronal behavior and compare its
outcome with psychophysical findings. I would also like to try out a probabilistic model
(maximum likelihood model, Bayesian model). |
