▼ Autonomous robots are increasingly being used in everyday life; cleaning our floors, entertaining us and supplementing soldiers in the battlefield. As emotion is a key ingredient in how we interact with others, it is important that our emotional interaction with these new entities be understood. This dissertation proposes using the appraisal theory of emotion (Roseman, Scherer, Schorr, & Johnstone, 2001) to investigate how we understand and evaluate situations involving this new breed of robot. This research involves two studies; in the first study an experimental method was used in which participants interacted with a live dog, a robotic dog or a non-anthropomorphic robot to attempt to accomplish a set of tasks. The appraisals of motive consistent/motive inconsistent (the task was performed correctly/incorrectly) and high/low perceived control (the teammate was well trained/not well trained) were manipulated to show the practicality of using appraisal theory as a basis for human robot interaction studies. Robot form was investigated for its influence on emotions experienced. Finally, the influence of high and low control on the experience of positive emotions caused by another was investigated. Results show that a human – robot live interaction test bed is a valid way to influence participants’ appraisals. Manipulation checks of motive consistent/motive inconsistent, high/low perceived control and the proper appraisal of cause were significant. Form was shown to influence both the positive and negative emotions experienced, the more lifelike agents were rated higher in positive emotions and lower in negative emotions. The emotion gratitude was shown to be greater during conditions of low control when the entities performed correctly, suggesting that more experiments should be conducted investigating agent caused motive-conducive events. A second study was performed with participants evaluating their reaction to a hypothetical story. In this story they were interacting with either a human, robotic dog, or robot to complete a task. These three agent types and high/low perceived control were manipulated with all stories ending successfully. Results indicated that gratitude and appreciation are sensitive to the manipulation of agent type. It is suggested that, based on the results of these studies, the emotion gratitude should be added to Roseman et al. (2001) appraisal theory to describe the emotion felt during low-control, motive-consistent, other-caused events. These studies have also shown that the appraisal theory of emotion is useful in the study of human-robot and human-animal interactions.

▼ The visual system can use small disparities between the stimuli seen by each eye as a binocular cue for depth. Geometric disparities are the most commonly used cue for stereopsis, but disparities in contrast and luminance can also lead to the perception of depth and both can cancel perceived depth from a geometric disparity. Humans are able to perceive changes in depth from contrast disparities at frequencies up to approximately 1.4 Hz, whereas changes in depth from geometric disparities are visible at frequencies above 5 Hz (Dobias, 2008). This dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part (experiments 1 & 2) explores the dynamics of canceling the perceived depth from a geometric disparity using a contrast or a luminance disparity. The second part (experiments 3-5) explores the role of individual differences in the dynamics of perceived depth from contrast, luminance, and geometric disparities. Dobias (2008) and results in experiments 3 & 4 show that the probability of reporting depth from contrast and luminance disparities diminish at frequencies much lower than from a geometric disparity (critical frequency). A generalized difference model (simple low-pass filter), does not account for the data from experiment 1. However, a gated generalized difference model, which applies low-pass filtering to the amplitude of the modulation but not its rate of change, does account for the data. Results from part two show that the frequency at which depth changes from contrast and luminance disparities (experiment 3) differs from the frequency at which depth is no longer visible for a geometric disparity (experiment 4), that the frequency can differ depending on which eye views the changing stimulus (experiments 3 & 4), and that either visual masking or eye movements are likely not causing the decrease at lower frequencies for contrast and luminance disparities (experiment 5). The finding that results from part one follow the gated model, and the differences depending on which eye views the dynamic stimulus found in part two, suggest that the visual system processes depth from contrast and luminance disparities much differently from what would be expected based on our typical understanding of depth perception.

▼ When a person lightly touches an object with the fingertip, postural sway variability has been reliably shown to decrease. Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain why this reduction in sway variability occurs. The first, proposed by Jeka and Lackner (1994, 1995), concludes that sensory information available in light touch, resulting from stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the fingertip and the arm, is utilized to automatically reduce postural sway. The second hypothesis, proposed by Riley, Stoffregen, Grocki, and Turvey (1999), states that postural control is modulated by the demands imposed by the requirements to precisely control touching. The present experiment tested these competing hypotheses by manipulating the performance parameters of a light-touch task. The maximum level of allowable force produced when touching was manipulated. Producing more force presumably results in greater amounts of sensory stimulation, and, according to the sensory hypothesis, should be accompanied by reduced amounts of postural sway. In contrast, the supra-postural task hypothesis predicts the least postural sway in conditions involving the least maximum allowable force, because reducing the maximum allowable force increases the precision demands of the touching task. Forty-eight right-handed participants were randomly assigned to one of three maximum force production groups (0.75 N, 1.5 N, 2.25 N). Each participant completed five trials during which touching was performed as well as five no-touch control trials. Touch force was measured by the mean and SD of force production, measured using a force transducer, and postural sway was operationalized by the standard deviation (SD), local standard deviation (LSD; the average of SDs computed over non-overlapping, 1-second data windows), and path length of the center of pressure (COP) in both the medio-lateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) directions, measured using a Bertec 4060 NC force platform (fingertip force and the COP were sampled at 100 Hz). Postural sway was reduced when participants touched the surface compared to when not touching, as reflected in the measures SDAP, SDML, LSDAP and LSDML, which was consistent with both hypotheses. Consistent with the sensory hypothesis, but contrary to the supra-postural task hypothesis, the greatest reduction in sway between touching and not touching occurred in the 2.25 N condition for SDAP, LSDAP, and LSDML, indicating that touching had the greatest effect in the condition that required the least amount of precision but generated greater fingertip pressure. However, participants in all groups produced less than 0.75 N of force when touching, on average; mean force production across groups, while statistically different, was similar enough to result in tasks that all required a high degree of precision control over touching. Additional experiments that control the range and absolute amounts of force produced when touching are required to determine the relative contributions of sensory and supra-postural task constraints.

Two prominent theories of perceptual functioning in autism were tested. WCC theory maintains that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) preferentially attend to local elements. EPF model, on the other hand, maintains that persons with ASD can attend to either the local or the global elements and that they are sensitive to small changes in environmental contingencies. Individuals with ASD and typically developing individuals (TD) performed both the selective attention task, which employed instructions about which level of the hierarchical figure to attend, and the divided attention task, which employed implicit contingencies to bias to which level of the stimulus to attend. A global advantage and global interference were found for both groups. Furthermore, ASD persons demonstrated sensitivity to the contingencies relative to TD persons. This supports the EPF model indicating that individuals with ASD perform as TD individuals for global forms but can more flexibly modify their default level of selection according to changes in environmental contingencies.

Deux théories perceptuels ont été testé. WCC clâme que les personnes qui présentent un trouble envahissant du développement (TED) montrent une inclination aux traitement locaux. EPF dit que les personnes avec TED peuvent traiter les niveau global ou local, et qu'ils sont sensibles aux petites différences dans les éventualités de l'environnement. Les personnes avec TED et le groupe de développement typique (DT) ont exécuté la tâche d'attention sélective, qui a employé des instructions duquel le niveau être présent, et la tâche d'attention divisée, qui a employé des éventualités implicites. Un avantage global et une interférence globale ont été trouvés pour les deux groupes. De plus, seulement les personnes avec TED ont démontré la sensibilité aux éventualités. Ces résultats soutiennent le compte d'EPF, et indiquent que les individus avec TED peuvent performer d'une manière caractéristique la tâche des formes globales, et peuvent modifier leur niveau implicite selon les changements subtils dans l'environnement.

Aim: Regular repeating patterns are prominent features in a visual scene. Here I consider whether regularity is an adaptable feature that produces a subsequent after-effect and whether a first- or second-order process mediates that after-effect. Method: Stimuli consisted of a 7 by 7 arrangement of elements on a baseline grid. The position of each element was randomly jittered from its baseline position by an amount that determined its degree of pattern irregularity. The elements of the pattern consisted of dark Gaussian blobs (GB), difference of Gaussians (DOG) or random binary patterns (RBP). Observers adapted for 60 seconds to a pair of patterns above and below fixation with a different degree of regularity, then adjusted the relative degree of regularity of two subsequently presented test patterns. The size of the after-effect at the point of subjective equality (PSE) was given by the baseline removed difference in regularity at the PSE or log ratio of the physical element jitter of the two test patterns at the PSE. Results: PSEs revealed that regularity is an adaptable feature that produces a unidirectional after-effect; specifically that adaptation only causes test patterns to appear less regular. The after-effect displayed transfer from GB adaptors to both DOG and RB test patterns and from DOG and (RBP) adaptors to GB patterns. Conclusion: Pattern regularity is an adaptable feature in vision, which produces a novel unidirectional after-effect I have termed Regularity After-Effect, or RAE. I propose second-order spatial-frequency channels as candidate mechanisms of regularity processing.

Objectif: Les motifs réguliers répétitifs sont des caractéristiques de premier plan dans la scène visuelle. Cette communication a comme objectif de découvrir si la régularité est une caractéristique adaptable du système visuel produisant un effet consécutif et si cet effet-consécutif est lié à un processus de premier- ou de second-ordre. Méthode: Les stimuli étaient constitués en un arrangement 7 par 7 éléments sur une grille. La position de chaque élément a été giguer au hasard à partir de sa position d'origine avec une valeur qui détermine son degré d'irrégularité. Les éléments qui constituent chaque grille pouvaient être des blobs de Gaussiennes (GB), des différence de Gaussiennes (DOG) ou de motif binaire aléatoire (RBP). Les participants ont été adaptés pour 60 secondes à une paire de motifs placée de part et d'autre d'un point de fixation ou chaque motif avait un degré différent de régularité. Les participants devaient ajuster le degré relatif de régularité de deux motifs présentés après. La taille de l'effet-consécutif est obtenue par la différence de régularité au point subjectif d'égalité soustrait à la régularité mesurée entre les deux motifs test ou par le logarithme du ratio de la différence de régularité entre les deux motifs test au point subjectif d'égalité. Résultats: Les point-subjectif d'égalité mesurée ont montrées que la régularité est une caractéristique adaptable qui produit un effet-consécutif…

In everyday activity we interact with objects and need to learn how to stabilize our limbs and apply appropriate forces. During learning the central nervous system adapts to the dynamics of the limb and the environment by means of formation of an accurate internal model. In the early stages of learning in the presence of novel force fields muscle cocontraction increases. Thoroughman and Shadmehr (1999) have described cocontraction as a wasted contraction. However, Franklin et al. (2003) have shown that the increase in muscle cocontraction has an important role in learning to stabilize the limb and offset the effect of the force field when the perturbing forces cannot be accurately predicted. With practice an internal model is formed which allows the central nervous system to estimate the force to counteract the force field and therefore the muscle cocontraction level declines gradually. It has been shown that the level of muscle cocontraction remains at an asymptote after learning and the amount of cocontraction depends on the amount of required impedance to provide stability (Franklin et al., 2003; Thoroughman and Shadmehr 1999). In this study, the level of muscle cocontraction in the presence of a force field of gradually increasing strength is investigated. Subjects practiced point-to-point arm movements under a training condition where the force field strength increased gradually or under a training condition where the force field was abruptly activated and remained at its maximum strength throughout training, which served as a control. At the end of the training period both groups were performing movements at maximum force field strength. Therefore, we were able to compare the level of muscle cocontraction and performance of two groups at the same high level of force field strength. The results showed that the level of muscle cocontraction in subjects who trained with the gradually increasing force field strength was lower than the group which trained with the abrupt transition to maximum force field strength both during training and subsequently when both groups performed the task at maximum force field strength. Furthermore, based on the applied force recorded during random catch trials both groups had formed an accurate internal model at the end of learning. The observed pattern of cocontraction was consistent with the learning model proposed by Franklin et al. (2008).

Dans nos activités de tous les jours, nous interagissons avec des objets, mouvements pour lesquels nous devons apprendre à stabiliser nos membres ainsi qu'à appliquer des forces adéquates. Pendant l'apprentissage de tels mouvements, le système nerveux central s'adapte à la dynamique entre les membres et l'environnement en créant un modèle interne précis. Dans les premiers stades de l'apprentissage moteur, en présence de nouvelles forces externes, une augmentation de la cocontraction musculaire est observée. Thoroughman et Shadmehr (1999) ont décrit la cocontraction musculaire comme étant une contraction gaspillée. Par contre, Franklin et al.…

Neural populations in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) have been shown to be an essential substrate for associative fear memories. However, it remains unclear whether distinct associative memories are mediated by independent or overlapping populations of BLA neurons. The focus of this dissertation is to describe efforts undertaken to use reconsolidation to advance this issue. I used the fact that initiation of reconsolidation is dependant on the reactivation of a particular memory. Therefore, if two memories are stored by the same overlapping population within the BLA, then interference through blockade of reconsolidation of one should lead to impairments in both. Conversely, if the two memories are stored independently of each other within the BLA, then blockade of reconsolidation of one memory should leave the second intact. I have investigated this with two protocols that each result in two distinct fear memories. Using a single tone-shock, I investigated the relationship of auditory and contextual fear memory. My findings demonstrate a complex functional interaction between these two memories. I designed a novel 2-tone protocol with which I attempted to use the selective blockade of reconsolidation to test a model of fear memory acquisition. This attempt illuminated the need for further knowledge regarding the boundary conditions of reconsolidation. I also describe an unbiased approach to detect molecular mechanisms unique to either consolidation or reconsolidation. One candidate from this screen was validated for its role in consolidation in the BLA. The experiments described in this dissertation provide a unique view of how fear memory representations are organized in the amygdala and how manipulations of reconsolidation can be used to understand the structure of memory.

Les populations neuronales situées dans l'amygdale basolatérale (BLA) sont reconnues comme étant un substrat essentiel aux mémoires associés à la peur. Il n'est pas encore clairement établi si des souvenirs associatifs distincts sont reliés à des populations de neurones de la BLA indépendantes ou se chevauchant. Cette dissertation décritles efforts entrepris pour faire progresser nos connaissances sur cette dernière interrogation en utilisant la reconsolidation. Pour mon étude, je me suis basé sur le fait que la reconsolidation est dépendante de la réactivation d'un souvenir en particulier. Par conséquent, si deux souvenirs sont emmagasinés par la même population de neurones se chevauchant dans la BLA, alors l'interférence causée par le blocage de la reconsolidation devrait altérer les deux souvenirs. Inversement, si deux souvenirs sont emmagasinés de manière indépendante l'un de l'autre à l'intérieur de la BLA, alors le blocage de la reconsolidation d'un seul souvenir devrait laisser le second intact. J'ai examiné cette hypothèse à l'aide de deux protocoles qui ont chacun produit deux mémoires distinctes associées à la peur. En utilisant une seule association tonalité-décharge électrique, j'ai étudié la relation entre la mémoire…

Drivers over the age of 70 have a significantly higher rate of intersection collisions than younger drivers. Many of their accidents involve a visual detection error, resulting in a right-of-way violation and a collision with an oncoming vehicle. Three studies relating older drivers' peripheral motion detection to accident risk demonstrate that peripheral motion contrast threshold (PMCT) for low spatial frequency drifting sine wave gratings significantly declines with age, and that PMCT predicts about 40% of driving performance variance (p > .001). Approximately twenty older drivers participated in each study. In all three studies, older drivers' PMCT was assessed using forced choice psychophysical procedures, with 0.4 cycle/degree sine wave gratings drifting at 13.75 or 27.5 degrees/second. The stimulus spanned 5 or 10 degrees of visual angle and was presented at 10–20 degrees of retinal eccentricity. Useful Field of View (UFOV®) was also assessed in the second and third studies. The first and second studies used a bespoke driving perception questionnaire to measure accident risk, and the second study validated that questionnaire against an abridged Manchester Driver Behaviour Questionnaire. The third study's measure of accident risk was driving simulator performance (i.e., driving examiners' assessments and crash counts). PMCT and UFOV® predicted accident risk equally well. Future work will include development of a practicable two-minute version of the PMCT for use by DMV staff and clinical practitioners.

Les conducteurs âgés de 70 ans ou plus ont un taux de collisions aux intersections nettement plus élevé que les conducteurs plus jeunes. Plusieurs de ces accidents s'expliquent par une défaillance relative au repérage d'informations visuelles, ce qui, par conséquent, résulte en une violation du droit de passage du ou des véhicules en approche. Trois études traitant de perception visuelle des mouvements en relation avec les risques d'accidents révèlent que le seuil de contraste dynamique en périphérie visuelle (SCDPV) pour des ondes sinuosidales de basses fréquences spatiales augmente significativement avec l'âge. Soulignons que les résultats au SCDPV expliquent environ 40% de la variance des indices de performance au volant (p < .001). Approximativement vingt conducteurs âgés de 65 ans ou plus ont participé à chaque étude. Dans chacune des trois études, le SCDPV des conducteurs plus âgés a été évalué en utilisant des procédures psychophysiques de choix forcé. Le stimulus consistait en une ondelette sinusoïdale de 0.4 cycle/degré avec un déplacement centripète de 13.75 ou 27.5 degrés/seconde. Le stimulus avait une largeur de 5 ou 10 degrés d'angle visuel et a été présenté à 10 à 20 degrés d'excentricité rétinienne. Un test évaluant l'attention et la vitesse de traitement (Useful Field of View; UFOV®) a également été administré dans la deuxième et la troisième étude. Un questionnaire évaluant le risque d'accident à partir d'items portant sur la perception de la conduite automobile a été développé et utilisé…

Functional data are measurements that are assumed to be generated from an underlying smooth function varying over a continuum such as time or space. Functional linear models (FLM) and functional extended redundancy analysis (FERA) are regression analysis methods that investigate the relationships between functional predictor and dependent variables. In reality, functional data could come from heterogeneous populations and ignoring such cluster-level heterogeneity would result in biased statistical inferences. To capture cluster-level heterogeneity in functional data, various clustering approaches have been developed by extending clustering techniques for multivariate data to the analysis of functional data. Nonetheless, there has been little attempt to develop clustering algorithms to capture cluster-level heterogeneity in functional regression relationships. This dissertation aims to fill the gap by extending fuzzy cluster-wise regression (FCR), which is a popular method for capturing such heterogeneity in multivariate linear regression, to functional regression settings. The proposed methods, called functional fuzzy cluster-wise regression (FFCR) and functional fuzzy extended redundancy analysis (FFERA), combine FCR with FLM and FERA, respectively, in a unified manner. They allow classifying subjects into different clusters and estimating cluster-wise regression coefficients simultaneously. The dissertation begins by reviewing existing clustering methods in accounting for cluster-level heterogeneity in functional data or multiple regression relationships. Then, it discusses FLM, FERA and FCR, which are the three building blocks of the methods proposed in the dissertation. The dissertation subsequently provides technical details of FFCR and FFERA, including their criteria and algorithms for parameter estimation. The usefulness of FFCR and FFERA are demonstrated by the analysis of simulated and real data sets. The dissertation concludes with a summary of the implications and possible extensions of the proposed methods.

Données fonctionnelles sont des mesures qui sont censées être généré à partir d'une fonction lisse sous-jacent varie sur un continuum tels que le temps ou l'espace. Modèles linéaires fonctionnels ( FLM ) et fonctionnelle prolongée analyse de redondance (FERA ) sont des méthodes d'analyse de régression qui étudient les relations entre prédicteur fonctionnelle et variables dépendantes. En réalité, les données fonctionnelles pourraient provenir de population hétérogène et en ignorant cette hétérogénéité au niveau de la grappe se traduirait par des inférences statistiques biaisées. Pour capturer l'hétérogénéité de niveau des grappes dans les données fonctionnelles, diverses approches de clustering ont été développés par l'extension des techniques de clustering des données multivariée à l'analyse des données fonctionnelles. Néanmoins, il ya eu peu d'efforts pour développer des algorithmes de clustering pour capturer l'hétérogénéité de niveau des grappes dans les relations de régression fonctionnels.…

▼ To persist, new memories must undergo a consolidation process, during which they are sensitive to disruption. This process, referred to as cellular consolidation, is posited to be completed within the first hours following learning and involves stabilization of changes in synaptic connectivity. Memories can also consolidate at the level of brain systems. Systems-consolidation is a more prolonged process involving gradual reorganization of brain systems that support memory expression, where memories that initially depend on the hippocampus increasingly come to depend on specific cortical structures. A number of recent studies have suggested that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is one such cortical structure that is not required for the expression of recent memory, but becomes critical for the expression of remote memory. In addition to reorganization of the anatomical substrates of memory, memories are known to change in other ways over time. Contextual memory, initially hippocampus-dependent, can become less specific over time, whereby animals generalize conditioned responding to novel contexts. However, a number of recent studies have described how following retrieval, memories can return to a labile state, a process referred to as cellular reconsolidation. Similarly, retrieval has been found to transiently return a hippocampus-independent remote memory to a hippocampus-dependent state, a process of systems reconsolidation. Moreover, memory retrieval reactivating the hippocampus has been found to renew memory precision with reduced behavioural generalization.To date, little is known about how retrieval affects the involvement of the ACC, more specifically: (1) whether memory undergoes cellular consolidation and reconsolidation in the ACC, and if so, if this is the case for recent as well as remote memories; (2) whether ACC-dependent remote memory transiently becomes ACC-independent following retrieval; and (3) whether increased context memory generalization is mediated by the ACC. This thesis aims to answer these questions in the following two manuscripts. In all experiments, rats underwent contextual fear conditioning. The first manuscript addresses the first two questions. To answer the first question, protein-synthesis inhibitor was infused into the ACC immediately following conditioning or memory retrieval. The results indicate that the ACC is involved in cellular consolidation and reconsolidation of recent and remote contextual fear memory. To answer the second question, the ACC was pharmacologically inactivated at different time-points before testing at time-points after a reactivation trial. The results suggest that at 6 hours following memory retrieval, memory expression can be supported by either the ACC or the dorsal hippocampus (DH), whereas at 24 hours after the retrieval, the memory is once more ACC-dependent. The second manuscript examines the third question, examining the effects of memory retrieval on subsequent context generalization.

Effective connectivity in functional neuroimaging studies is defined as the time dependent causal influence that a certain brain region of interest (ROI) exerts on another. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is regularly employed to analyze effective connectivity. In recent years, various SEM methods have been proposed to model effective connectivity. However, there has been little attempt to develop SEM methods for analyzing common patterns of effective connectivity across subjects despite the prevalence of multiple-subject research in effective connectivity. This dissertation proposes a method that fills this gap. This method is called dynamic generalized (multiple-set) structured canonical correlation analysis (dynamic GCANO). It combines generalized (multiple-set) canonical correlation analysis (GCANO) with a multivariate autoregressive time series model in a unified framework. This dissertation begins with a brief review of existing SEM techniques, and points out their limitations in analyzing multiple-subject effective connectivity data, which serves as a motivation to develop dynamic GCANO. The technical underpinnings of the proposed method are then stated, including specifications of a modeling framework and an optimization criterion for parameter estimation, which is minimized by an alternating least squares algorithm. The effectiveness of dynamic GCANO is demonstrated by analyzing both synthetic and real data sets. The former reveals reasonably good parameter recoveries by the proposed method, while the latter shows the usefulness of the method in empirical research. Several features of dynamic GCANO are highlighted through these examples. The dissertation concludes with possible extensions of the proposed method.

Suivant les méthodes d'imagerie fonctionnelle cérébrale, une connectivité efficace est définie comme influence dépendant de causalité temporelle qu'une certaine région d'intérêt du cerveau (ROI) exerce sur une autre. La modélisation par équation structurelle (SEM) est régulièrement utilisée pour analyser la connectivité efficace. Ces dernières années, diverses méthodes de SEM ont été proposées pour la modélisation de la connectivité efficace. Cependant, il y a eu peu de tentative pour développer des méthodes de SEM pour analyser les modèles communs de connectivité efficace sur-sujets, malgré la prédominance de recherche sur des sujets multiples pour analyser la connectivité efficace. Cette thèse propose une méthode qui comble cette lacune. Cette méthode est appelée dynamique généralisée (multiples ensemble) structuré l'analyse de corrélation canonique (dynamique GCANO). Elle combine généralisée (multiples ensemble) structuré l'analyse de corrélation canonique (GCANO) avec multivariée des séries chronologiques autorégressif dans un cadre unifié.

Skilled interactions with sounding objects such as drumming rely on resolving the uncertainty in the feedback from acoustical and tactual signals radiated from the objects being set into vibration. The uncertainty may arise from misestimation of the objects' mechanical properties, such as their stiffness. How the integrated processing of object-generated auditory and haptic information feeds back into the fine-tuning of sound-generating actions remains unexplored. Participants held a stylus and learned to stabilize the downward wrist velocity while striking repeatedly a virtual sounding object whose surface stiffness was under computer control. No visual input about the movements or object was provided. Unbeknownst to participants, the sensory feedback was manipulated by perturbing the acoustic and haptic stiffness of the object either in a congruent or incongruent manner. The compensatory changes in striking velocity were measured as a motor effect of the sensory perturbation. We quantified the contributions of each sensory modality to the control of wrist kinematics by characterizing a potential asymmetry of congruency effects across audition and haptics. These effects were operationally defined as the difference in motor effects between incongruent and congruent trials. We found a pronounced dominance of haptics over audition in the stabilization of wrist kinematics. The intersensory weighting required for motor compensation was in accord with a statistically optimal prediction based on modality-specific motor noise. Percussion expertise facilitated motor accuracy (lower motor noise) in all experimental contexts. The action-based multisensory process(es), however, appear to rely upon a minimum-uncertainty mechanism that optimizes the control signal for reliable striking kinematics independently of musical expertise.

Des interactions expertes avec des objets sonores, tel que le jeu des instruments à percussion, dépendent de la résolution d'incertitudes concernant la rétroaction provenant de signaux acoustiques et tactiles rayonnés par les objets mis en vibration. Cette incertitude pourrait découler d'une mauvaise estimation des propriétés mécaniques de l'objet, telle que sa rigidité. La façon dont le traitement intégré des informations auditives et haptiques générées par l'objet agit sur l'ajustement des actions qui produisent du son reste inexplorée. Les participants tenaient un stylet et ont appris à stabiliser la vitesse du poignée en frappant de façon répétée sur un objet sonore virtuel dont la rigidité de surface était contrôlée par un ordinateur. A l'insu des participants, la rétroaction sensorielle a été manipulée en perturbant la rigidité acoustique et haptique de l'objet, de manière congrue ou incongrue. Les changements compensatoires dans la vitesse de frappe ont été mesurés en tant qu'effet moteur de la perturbation sensorielle. Nous avons quantifié les contributions de chaque modalité sensorielle au contrôle de la cinématique du poignée en caractérisant l'asymétrie potentielle des effets de…

▼ Our eyes are always in motion. Even when we attempt to maintain steady gaze, fixational eye movements, which include ocular drift and microscopic saccades (known as microsaccades or fixational saccades) continually shift the projection of the visual scene onto the retina. Despite much progress during the last decade, many aspects regarding the visual function of these movements remain unknown. This dissertation describes four studies in which fixational eye movements were recorded by means of a high resolution eye tracker to provide answers to the following fundamental questions: (1) What is the visual input to the retina? Data from a large group of untrained observers show that the precision of fixation varies widely across individuals. Furthermore, they show that the line of sight normally covers a much larger area and ocular drift is much faster than commonly assumed. (2) What triggers fixational saccades? Data obtained with a new method for measuring the fixation error clarify that both spatial and temporal factors contribute to the generation of microsaccades. During intended fixation on a point, fixational saccades typically correct for foveation errors, but microsaccades also occur at very small fixation displacements after a prolonged period of time. (3) Are microsaccades controlled in the same way as saccades? The results of adaptation experiments show that microsaccades undergo plastic changes similar to those exhibited by larger saccades, strengthening the hypothesis that microsaccades and saccades are mediated by the same neural structures. (4) What are the mechanisms of visual encoding during fixational eye movements? We examined whether humans are capable of extracting spatial information made available by fixational eye movements in the form of temporal modulations. Results of experiments with precise control of retinal stimulation show that, in the absence of explicit spatial information, fixational modulations are sufficient to establish accurate spatial representation. These results advance the field in multiple important ways. They show that fixational eye movements are under tight oculomotor control and that they contribute to the processing of visual information.

Sensory substitution refers to the replacement of one sensory input with another. This concept, originally developed to aid the blind, presents a scientific opportunity to study crossmodal perceptual learning and neural plasticity. Using a technique that translates vision into sound, the present dissertation examined sensory substitution learning. Four studies tested the hypotheses that mental representations of spatial information such as shape are abstract, and that they are based on involvement of common brain regions independently of sensory modality. Study 1 aimed to develop a training paradigm in auditory vision substitution. We examined the minimum amount of learning necessary to identify visual images using sound, and the effects of more extensive training on a wide range of stimuli to test the hypothesis that sensory substitution would be based on generalized crossmodal rule learning. Study 2 was a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) adaptation of study 1. Subjects were scanned before and after training during a task in which shape-coded sound was to be matched to visually presented shape. It was predicted that training would lead to sound-induced visual recruitment. Study 3 examined auditory touch substitution learning. Blindfolded sighted subjects were trained to recognize tactile shapes using shape-coded sounds and tested on a matching task. We also tested post-training transfer to vision. It was predicted that shape could be conveyed across sensory modalities. Study 4 was an fMRI adaptation of Study 3. Subjects were scanned before and after training during a task in which shape-coded sound was matched to tactually presented shape. Visual recruitment driven by non-visual inputs was predicted. Results showed that sighted people learned to extract visual or tactile patterns from auditory input. This learning was generalizable across stimuli within and across modalities, suggesting an abstract mental representation of shape. Auditory shape learning was associated with change in the functional network between the auditory cortex and the lateral occipital complex (LOC), a region known for visual shape processing. The auditory access to the LOC supports the notion that sensory specificity of the brain is not determined by the nature of the stimuli but rather by the task demand of the information to be processed.

La substitution sensorielle réfère à la capacité de remplacer une entrée sensorielle par une autre. Ce concept, initialement développé pour aider les personnes aveugles, offre une opportunité scientifique pour étudier l'apprentissage perceptuel à travers plusieurs modalités sensorielles et la plasticité neurale. La présente dissertation utilise une technique qui transforme la vision en son pour examiner l'apprentissage de la substitution sensorielle. Quatre études ont testé les hypothèses que les représentations mentales de l'information spatiale telles que des formes abstraites sont basées sur l'implication de régions cérébrales communes indépendamment de modalités…

▼ Over the past decades, there has been a growing debate about the role of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in working memory processes. The frequent increase in activity in this region together with the prefrontal cortex during the performance of working memory tasks has raised the issue of its contribution to working memory function. This thesis focused on two specific prefrontal and posterior parietal regions that are almost invariably co-activated during the performance of working memory tasks, namely the horizontal segment of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and the mid-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (MDLFC). The main aim of the present set of studies was to identify the role of the horizontal segment of the IPS region in working memory processes and to dissociate its contribution from that of the MDLFC. Whereas the contribution of the PPC to working memory has been attributed typically to storage and retrieval processes, the research reported in this thesis tested, for the first time, the hypothesis that this region is centrally involved in the manipulation of information in working memory. Additionally, it was hypothesized that the MDLFC was only secondarily involved in the manipulation of information in working memory due to its specific role in the monitoring of that information. The present thesis is composed of two event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging studies that have used manipulation (experimental task 1), monitoring (experimental task 2), and recognition control tasks to dissociate the contribution of the PPC from that of the prefrontal cortex in the manipulation and monitoring of information in working memory, respectively. Visual non-verbal (Study 1) and verbal stimuli (Study 2) were used to examine the generalization of the role of the PPC in the manipulation of items of information from different domains. In the first study, the use of a subtraction paradigm allowed the direct comparison of the signal related to the performance of the two experimental tasks. In the manipulation minus monitoring comparison, increased activity was observed in the horizontal segment of the IPS but no significant increase in activity was observed in the MDLFC. The reverse pattern of results was obtained in the monitoring minus manipulation comparison, that is, increased activity was observed in the MDLFC and no significant activity was observed in the horizontal segment of the IPS. The dissociable pattern of activity in these two brain regions was consistent with the proposed role of the PPC and prefrontal cortex in the manipulation and monitoring of information in working memory, respectively. The second study used a parametric design to examine the differential modulation of activity in the PPC and prefrontal cortex with increasing manipulation and monitoring demands. The results showed a significant increase in activity in the MDLFC and in the PPC with an increase in the number of words to be manipulated. In contrast, there was a significant increase in activity in the prefrontal cortex, but not in the… Advisors/Committee Members: Michalakis Petrides (Supervisor).

The goal of this thesis was to examine the utility of animal models of urogenital pain to explore the causes and consequences of acute and chronic genital and non-genital pain. In the first review chapter entitled "Animal Models of Dyspareunia," the validity and reliability of animal models associated with dyspareunia (painful intercourse) is examined in terms of how closely they parallel the clinical presentation of their respective pain conditions. The review reveals that many of these models are limited by the lack of specificity of their pain behaviours and/or poor correlations between pain and tissue pathology. The second chapter entitled "Repeated Vulvovaginal Fungal Infections Cause Persistent Pain in a Mouse Model of Vulvodynia," describes a mouse model of provoked vestibulodynia developed and used to examine the hypothesis that persistent vulvar pain may result from prolonged vulvovaginal inflammation due to Candida albicans infection. We found that a subset of mice exhibited vulvar mechanical hypersensitivity following three fully resolved Candida infections, as well as following a single, extended infection and repeated vulvar injections of the inflammatory compound zymosan. Following repeated Candida infections, allodynic mice showed significant increases in vulvar innervation, including peptidergic afferent and sympathetic efferent nerve fibers. This model provides evidence for biological mechanisms underlying chronic vulvar pain and sheds doubt on previous assumptions that vulvar pain is merely a consequence of impaired sexual response. In the final empirical investigation, the hypothesis that sexual motivation can be directly modulated by genital versus non-genital pain was evaluated. Whereas genital and non-genital tonic inflammatory pain did not impact the sexual behaviour of male mice, both types of pain resulted in reduced female sexual motivation and behaviour. Together, this body of work demonstrates the potential utility of novel animal models of urogenital pain to study the etiology and impact of pelvic pain in humans.

L'objectif de cette thèse était par conséquent d'examiner l'utilité des modèles animaux de douleur urogénitale afin d'explorer les causes et les conséquences de la douleur aiguë et chronique au niveau des organes génitaux et non-génitaux. Le premier chapitre intitulé "Des modèles animaux de la dyspareunie," examine la validité et la fiabilité des modèles animaux de la dyspareunie en ce qui concerne le degré de parallèle de la présentation clinique avec leurs conditions de douleur respectives. La revue de littérature démontre que plusieurs de ces modèles sont limités par le manque de spécificité des comportements de douleur et/ou par de faibles corrélations entre la douleur et la pathologie des tissus. Le deuxième chapitre intitulé "Les infections fongiques repetées de la partie vulvo-vaginale causent une douleur persistante dans un modèle murin de la vulvodynie," décrit un modèle murin de vestibulodynie provoquée développé et utilisé dans le but d'examiner…

Humans demonstrate the ability to move with little error in a wide range of situations. To do so requires a high degree of plasticity in the neural control of movement. The study of dynamics learning, the process by which the nervous system learns neural signals that are needed to produce the forces underlying movement, is a well-known method for examining plasticity in motor control. This dissertation reports on a series of experiments on dynamics learning and its generalization. Our studies touch on two important features of the dynamics learning process. The first is that dynamics learning involves instances of local adaptation. The second is that generalization can occur based on interpolation between these instances of learning.

Following a General Introduction in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2 we examine whether having learned to move in multiple directions affects the extent of generalization. In Chapter 3, we examine generalization of dynamics learning across changes in movement amplitude. In Chapter 4, we note that generalization of learning does not depend only on the separation between training and test directions, as was shown in Chapter 2. In addition, generalization depends on the extent of learning during training. We examine the effect of impedance - a mechanical property of the arm under neural control - on dynamics learning and generalization. In Chapter 5, we examine generalization of dynamics learning over time. Overall, our findings suggest that dynamics learning is a process involving local adaptation of the neural control signals for movement, and that interpolation between these instances of local learning is possible. These findings suggest that the apparent ease with which humans move in new situations may depend on interpolation between instances of previous learning that were acquired in a range of nearby situations. We elaborate on this idea in a General Discussion in Chapter 6.

La capacité de l'être humain à adapter ses mouvements à une grande variété de situations témoigne de la grande plasticité du contrôle neuronal du mouvement. Cette plasticité peut s'étudier via l'apprentissage dynamique qui correspond au processus par lequel le système nerveux met en place les signaux neuronaux nécessaires à la production des forces qui génèrent le mouvement. La présente thèse reporte une série d'expériences étudiant l'apprentissage dynamique et sa généralisation. Dans ces expériences, l'apprentissage dynamique est obtenu en amenant le sujet à compenser une perturbation mécanique systématiquement appliquée sur le bras par un robot au cours de l'exécution d'un mouvement d'atteinte de cible. Plus particulièrement, nos études sont centrées sur deux propriétés importantes de l'apprentissage dynamique: (1) le fait que l'apprentissage dynamique impliquerait des instances d'adaptation locales et (2) le fait que la généralisation de cet apprentissage se fonderait sur une interpolation entre ces instances d'adaptation locales.

Après une introduction générale dans le Chapitre 1, le Chapitre 2 examine si…

▼ Mental health is distinct to emotional vulnerability, and can be characterised by wellbeing and functioning well in life. Cognitive-affective approaches have been widely used to investigate emotional vulnerability, however, research investigating the cognitive characteristics of mental health and resilience is in its infancy. Research in this thesis examined emotional information processing biases in positive mental health. Chapters Two and Three present cross-sectional data that support the continued exploration of the role of emotional cognitive biases in mental health. Chapter Two found associations between positive attention biases and psychological flexibility, and between the recognition of facially expressed emotions and mental health. Chapter Three found that the interrelationships amongst biases in attention, interpretation, and memory differed between high mental health and low mental health samples of adolescents. In Chapters Four and Five, attention bias modification was used to train attention bias towards positive information and away from negative information. Training-induced shifts in attentional bias were found to associate with positive emotions and happiness 12 weeks later in Chapter Four, but not in the replication and extension in Chapter Five. In Chapter Six a cognitive model of psychological resilience is introduced to draw together the largely disparate fields of emotional information-processing in emotional vulnerability, and resilience approaches. Chapter Seven was a proof-of-principle study of one hypothesis drawn from the cognitive model outlined in Chapter Six. Data from a novel attention bias alignment assessment task supported the hypothesis that individuals are capable of aligning attentional bias to threat as a function of whether displaying such a bias is adaptive or maladaptive in the current context. The studies in this thesis contribute to the understanding of emotional information-processing in mental health and resilience. Future studies investigating the adaptive directing of cognitive biases in differing contexts may be especially useful moving forward.
