The neural foundations of an auditory-visual illusion: spatial factors and application to childhood development
No full textMost animals, including humans, possess multiple sense organs through which information about the environment is gleaned. The brain’s ability to integrate the information gathered from multiple sense modalities is fundamental to success in the environment. However, until fairly recently, the processing of sensory information in the brain was assumed to follow separate parallel streams, being progressively elaborated in these separate streams before being finally united in high level association cortices, such as those in the frontal or parietal lobes. As more sophisticated theories and analysis techniques have emerged, this view has given way to a new understanding that information is also transferred between sensory pathways at very early stages – at the level of the primary sensory cortices and possibly below. The three experiments presented in this thesis used the flash-beep illusion (Shams et al., 2000) as an index of multi-sensory processes in the brain – firstly to show that the illusion was robust to significant spatial separation of the auditory and visual parts of the stimulus, and secondly to show that congruent multi-modal stimuli initiated a sequence of long-lasting effects on subsequent uni-sensory processing that were localised to the parietal and occipital lobes. Lastly, it was shown that a group of children from 8-14 years of age reported significantly more illusions than adults, adding further weight to the growing body of evidence suggesting that many multi-sensory processes are slow to develop. Overall, the experiments reported in this thesis highlight the involvement of high-level cortical association areas as well as direct cortico-cortical connections between primary auditory and visual areas in the generation of the flash-beep illusion. It is proposed that both are required in order to generate the perception of an illusory flash: the multi-modal flash/beep stimulus initiates a sequence of activity in the primary sensory areas which subsequently leads to feedback from parietal areas, thus priming visual cortex. Direct, spatially insensitive connections from primary auditory to visual areas subserving the visual periphery may allow auditory activity generated by the second beep to trigger a visual percept. The results increase our understanding that multi-sensory processes are generally the result of complex interactions between sub-cortical nuclei and primary sensory areas, guided by top-down control from high-level association regions which are slow to develop during childhood
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
