Journal ArticleDOI
Visual objects in context
TL;DR: Building on previous findings, the knowledge that is available is reviewed, specific mechanisms for the contextual facilitation of object recognition are proposed, and important open questions are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Top-down facilitation of visual recognition
Moshe Bar,Karim S. Kassam,Avniel Singh Ghuman,Jasmine Boshyan,A. M. Schmid,Anders M. Dale,Matti Hämäläinen,Ksenija Marinkovic,Daniel L. Schacter,Bruce R. Rosen,Eric Halgren +10 more
TL;DR: The dynamics revealed provide strong support for the proposal of how top-down facilitation of object recognition is initiated, and are used to derive predictions for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
The proactive brain: using analogies and associations to generate predictions
TL;DR: This proposal posits that rudimentary information is extracted rapidly from the input to derive analogies linking that input with representations in memory, which activate the associations that are relevant in the specific context, which provides focused predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Cortical Mechanism for Triggering Top-Down Facilitation in Visual Object Recognition
TL;DR: This work proposes a specific mechanism for the activation of top-down facilitation during visual object recognition, and suggests that a partially analyzed version of the input image is projected rapidly from early visual areas directly to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to be integrated with the bottom-up analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical analysis of visual context.
Moshe Bar,Elissa Aminoff +1 more
TL;DR: This work has revealed the cortical mechanisms that are uniquely activated when people recognize highly contextual objects and indicates that a region in the parahippocampal cortex and a regions in the retrosplenial cortex together comprise a system that mediates both spatial and nonspatial contextual processing.
