REPETITION BLINDNESS AND LOCATION CODES

提出的研究目标是利用新发现的 重复盲现象(RB)用于地点探索 方式位置是由大脑编码的。位置的RB在以下情况下发生 信件迅速地出现在不同的位置；人们发现 受试者在报告信件时有相对的损害，如果之前 这封信也出现在同一地点。提出的研究将 同时进一步探索这一现象，并将其用作工具 用于探索空间代码。设计了一系列实验。 来确定在这一现象中什么是“相同的位置”。在……里面 具体地说，大脑将位置编码为 对象之间或同一对象的各个部分之间的区别是 探索过了。其他实验将检验令牌的作用 这种现象中的个性化、注意力和符号编码，如 以及尝试映射位置代码之间的功能区别 利用功能磁共振进行解剖鉴别的研究 成像。

The goal of the research proposed is to use the newly discovered phenomenon of repetition blindness (RB) for locations to explore the way location is coded by the brain. RB for locations occurs when letters are rapidly presented in different locations; it is found that subjects have a relative impairment in reporting letters if a previous letter has appeared in the same location. The research proposed will simultaneously explore this phenomenon further, and use it as a tool for exploring spatial codes. A number of the experiments are designed to determine what counts as "the same location" in this phenomenon. In particular, the hypothesis that the brain codes locations as distinctions between objects, or between parts of the same object, is explored. Additional experiments will examine the role of token individuation, attention, and symbolic coding in this phenomenon, as well as attempt to map functional distinctions between location codes onto anatomical distinctions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
