Psychophysics
= f()
• behavior: RT, accuracy• stimulus inputs
Behavior = f(stimulus inputs)

Why a course on psychophysical methods
?

Why a course on psychophysical methods
Experience• Introspection• Observation
Cognitive architecture• RT/errors• Thresholds• …
Neural mechanisms• fMRI• EEG• TMS• …
![Page 8: Zhuanghua Shi Dragan Rangelov Psychophysics. Course lecturers and tutors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c00e1a28abf838cc9b27/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why a course on psychophysical methods
• Complexity of neuro-cognitive phenomena requires their analysis on different levels
• Levels are characterized by different methodological and research approaches
• Analysis of behavioral measures helps interpretation of neuroimaging results
![Page 9: Zhuanghua Shi Dragan Rangelov Psychophysics. Course lecturers and tutors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c00e1a28abf838cc9b27/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Describing and opening the black box
• Psychophysics
• Describing what functions the cognitive system performs
• Cognitive neuroscience
• Describing how and where are these functions implemented

Tilt illusion
• Erroneous perception of the tilt of the inner grating as a function of contextual stimulation
![Page 11: Zhuanghua Shi Dragan Rangelov Psychophysics. Course lecturers and tutors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c00e1a28abf838cc9b27/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Psychophysics of the tilt illusion
Schwartz et al., 2007, NatRevNeur

Neuroscience of the tilt illusion
• Electrophysiological measure• responses of populations of neurons to
local orientation stimuli
Repulsive tuning shifts in primary visual cortex neurons for space and time, for context target differences of 15°

Bringing together behavior and neurons
• From recordings of neurons (left) behavior can reliably be predicted (right-hand side)
![Page 14: Zhuanghua Shi Dragan Rangelov Psychophysics. Course lecturers and tutors.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c00e1a28abf838cc9b27/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Aims of the course• Overview of “classical” psychophysical methods • with reference to their applications in current
neuro-cognitive psychology research. • Demonstrate purely “psychological” tools for
investigating internal states and processes• Hands-on experience.
